Making Good Choices- Flexible Seating

Please help me give my students a chance to make positive classroom choices. Flexible seating in the classroom helps the student make good choices because the different options allow them to stay focused and engaged.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Santoro's classroom raised $242

My Project

The school year has just begun, and we have 27 fantastic 4th graders that have entered our classroom for the first time, ready for an exciting year of learning. Our ICT classroom aims to create a comfortable classroom environment using wobble cushions and seats where students look forward to coming each day to grow both academically and socially. Our classroom is filled with highly diverse learners. 40% of our learners receive special education services, and the remainder of our class is general education. Our neighborhood is very diverse as well. Many of our students receive free or reduced-price lunches. We would love for our students to be more independent and make positive choices within the classroom. All of our students deserve nothing but the best! Could you help us give them the best?
