Flexible Seating for My Students

Help me give my students flexible seating opportunities so they can get work done.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Almazan's classroom raised $363

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These specific items will make a difference in my students' learning because they can have the opportunity to use clipboards and sit in a bean bag to get some work done. My students often struggle to stay in a chair to get some work done.

I believe with the flexibility of seating they will enjoy getting work done because they will also be comfy.

My students are special because they deserve the opportunity to try different ways of learning since it is hard for them. I want to be able to give my students a fun learning experience and the opportunity to work alone or with peers.
