Flexible Seating for STEM Classroom

Help me give my students flexible seating options. Many students can not sit in a normal chair for long extended periods of time. By offering my students different options it allows them to choose whats best for them.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Zambri's classroom raised $458

My Students

As the magnet school for STEAM, we at Joseph B. Cavallaro will provide every child with the support to grow intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally. In an advanced inquiry based learning environment, we will serve as leaders for the 21st Century, in both technology and the arts.

All for one and one for all - full STEAM ahead!

I am a STEM teacher in a Brooklyn middle school. I currently serve students in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. My students come from many different ethnic backgrounds. They also are a mixture of general ed and special education students.

My Project

These materials will allow my students to choose a seating option that best suits their learning style. Many students can not sit in a traditional chair for extended periods of time, giving them the option to take their laptops on the floor or sitting in a bean bag chair will allow the students to choose the option that best works for them.

Allowing a student to choose what works best for them will lead to increased attention spans, as well as increased productivity, and grades.

On behalf of myself and my students we would like to thank you for donation!
