From Restless to Ready: Flexible Seating That Works

Help me give my students flexible seating, a learning environment where all my students can focus and thrive. I'm seeking flexible seating options like bean bags, floor tables, lab desks and floor pillows.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Johnson's classroom raised $699

My Project

Traditional desks and chairs don't work for every learner. I'm seeking flexible seating options to create a classroom environment where all my students can focus and thrive. Floor Tables (Japanese Style, 40"x20"x13") These low, portable tables allow students to work comfortably while sitting on the floor, promoting better posture and reducing restlessness. Perfect for students who focus better in relaxed, ground-level positions. Lab Desks - These sturdy, adjustable-height surfaces accommodate both sitting and standing work, perfect for hands-on activities. They help kinesthetic learners stay engaged through movement. Floor Cushions - These soft seating options provide comfort for students who concentrate better in relaxed positions. They're especially beneficial for students with sensory needs or those who struggle with traditional hard chairs. Bean Bag Chairs - These moldable seats conform to each student's body, providing personalized comfort that reduces fidgeting. They create cozy reading nooks and calm spaces for students who need sensory support. When students can choose their optimal seating and work surface combination, they're more engaged, comfortable, and ready to learn. Your support will transform our classroom into a space where every student can succeed, regardless of their learning style or physical needs.
