Ms. Ordiway from Farwell MI is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Flexible Seating to Meet Sensory Needs

Help me give my students flexible seating options to meet their sensory needs and increase active engagement! Surf style lap desks will give my students seating options so they can decide how they learn best.

My Project

Flexible seating options will help meet the needs of my students that have a hard time focusing and staying still in a typical chair.

“All 4 on the floor!”

This is a phrase that I use often in my 3rd grade classroom. Students are constantly tipping their chairs, and it always makes me nervous that they are going to fall over! I am confident that flexible seating options such as wobble stools, lap desks, floor cushions, and more will reduce the amount of times I have to say this phrase each day
