Mrs. Howell from Ocean Springs MS is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Flexible Seating Spots

My students need flexible seating including backpatter's seats and soft and safe tree seats for our Daily 5 centers. During these centers, students have a choice of seating in the classroom whether it is in their desk or on the floor.

My Students

My students are kind, loving, accepting, polite, helpful, and have the passion to learn. They are motivated and show their enthusiasm. I love to see the look on their faces when I introduce a new concept and explain how it will connect to the real world. They become excited and want to share their own experiences, and how their experiences are relevant.

One of the many strengths of my students is their ability to help one another and accept each other's differences.

In teaching an inclusion classroom, this is the best recipe for success! I love my students!

My Project

The Backpatter's seat and Soft & Safe Tree Seats would be an asset to my classroom. These seating options would give students opportunities to make seating choices of their own.

During Daily 5 center time, students need seating options for "Work on Computer" and "Listen To Reading".

These options give students the flexibility of moving around our classroom and a chance to make appropriate choices for a positive learning experience.

Many of my students perform better when they are not confined to a desk. These seating options will give them more flexibility and ownership of their learning and the opportunity to make choices with positive results!
