Mrs. FOSTER from Fayetteville NC is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Flexing With Stools

Help me give my students eight adjustable stools to use with their standing desks and a dry-erase easel for me to use as a teaching tool during small group instruction.

My Students

About one-third of my class comes from a two-parent home, while the others live with grandparents, a single-parent, and three who even are currently placed in foster care. While about half of my students come from homes that provide academic support, many lack academic and technology-based support and classrooms lack 1/1 technology.

Mine is one of two 4th grade classrooms that serve students with​ individualized education plans.

With six 4th grade classrooms, class sizes for our grade level is 24-25 students per class and continue to grow. As a highly populated Title I school among a county of fifty-three elementary schools, our school community is full of wonderful spirit.

My Project

My husband built six standing desks for my classroom, and I have since ordered two additional (different style) standing desks.

These standing desks are a wonderful addition to the flex seating that I have in my 4th grade EC classroom, but they do need to have the option to sit at a stool when needed.

These stools would be perfect​ since they are adjustable and have an optional locking mechanism.

I could also use a dry erase easel to use during small group instruction for my math and science centers. My current easel is too small for the whole group to see.
