Flexible Seating

My students need the ability to group and re-group quickly. They need flexible seating options that will work in the classroom and can easily be carried to the hallway.

My Students

Our school is located in Ellicott City, Maryland. Our students are kind, thoughtful, caring middle schoolers who are ready to learn! They love having opportunities to read, write, and create around the classroom, as well as express their curiosity and love of learning.

Our students bring a variety of experiences with them to the classroom, and they are always supportive of one another.

Students will be working on PBL and Passion Projects in this classroom and will need the ability to be flexible as they collaborate and learn!

My Project

My students love having the opportunity to create and learn around our classroom! Flexible seating options -- standing desks, lap desks, and stadium chairs -- allow students the opportunity to work in locations that are best suited for their needs.

By donating to our project, you will be giving our students a variety of flexible seating options (stadium chairs, balance chairs, and pub height tables) to use during independent and group work periods.

These flexible seating options will help students to focus on and take charge with their work while being comfortable! These resources will allow them to quickly move around the room and move to the hallway.
