Keeping a Community of Learners Engaged

Help me give my students a set of 36 Floor Pillow Cushions to work comfortably and stay engaged in the work at hand. I'm also requesting book bins, a laminator kit, and folders.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jones's classroom raised $1,055

My Project

The pillow rounds are just right for comfortable seating in many areas of the classroom. Students are more engaged in their work when allowed to select different locations in the classroom to work with a partner or independently during work times. Comfortable seating is an important part in motivating and encouraging active engagement in their work when they feel free to make choices. In addition, the pillow seating is flexible and will promote and define each child's personal space even during whole group and small group lessons. Comfortable seating supports flexible seating and may even minimize distractions.
