Learning Living Room Seating

Help me give my students comfy, cozy flexible seating for our learning living room.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brinker's classroom raised $1,284

This project is fully funded

My Project

In our classroom with have flexible seating areas for various learning types. In the front of the classroom, we have an area that students refer to as, "the living room". Students will ask to sit in this area during lessons to help them focus on the lesson. We need more seating options for this area.

The Flex-Space Cozy Work Space Bundle - Gray will help create a learning living room that will provide students with cozy and comfortable seating areas to be more productive, explore various math concepts, and create unique math projects.

This seating area allows students to get out of their traditional desks.

Students who feel comfortable and relaxed can focus longer on math lessons and group projects. Many students get distracted during lessons, and when students are allowed to choose a comfortable seat to learn, they seem more focused on the lessons.
