Flexible Seating for Middle School

Help me give my students flexible seating options and some much needed supplies!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sorock's classroom raised $617

My Project

I am lucky to work with amazing students in the suburbs of Chicago. My students are curious, inquisitive, and engaged learners. Our school is in a diverse community and I have 130 wonderful seventh graders in my classroom each week.

Help my students focus with flexible seating options.

Included in this project are a few choices for seating. I would love to have a comfortable chair in the corner where students can take a break as needed, and I'm also hoping to offer wobble chairs for students who are having trouble focusing. I've also included a few supplies that will help us each day--extra pencils, an extra charger for iPads, and some fidget supplies to support student focus.
