Ms. Messmer from Twin Falls ID is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Flexible Seating

Help me give my students flexible seating options. The adjustable stools will allow students to either sit or stand at a raised desk. The wobble chairs and balance balls will help some students stay focused.

My Students

I currently have 28 very energetic and talkative 4th graders. I am still getting to know my students, but quite a few need accommodations. They have a desire to learn new things and many have a great mindset about school.

My students are rock stars!!

They are willing to go above and beyond. They are kind and helpful to everyone and really try and make others feel welcome.

I have a community of learners in my class who go the extra mile every day to ensure their classmates understand what is being taught. We have our good days and bad, but we focus on the positive, every day.

My Project

Many of my students have used flexible seating options in previous grades. I would like for them to have the same opportunity in my room; it makes them feel comfortable to be in an environment where they have the ability to move around during the day.

I want my students to be engaged!

They are more likely to be engaged and on task if they feel comfortable in their environment. My students often ask if they can move around. Right now we sit on the floor, stand at desks, sit in chairs, or are at the back table. We would really enjoy some other options.
