Mrs. Grinstead from Springfield MA is requesting Flexible Seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Math Center Chairs

My Students

My students attend an inner city school and are from low income families. Our school has a poverty rate of over 96%. The students need these materials to keep them organized in the classroom.

Our school serves students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through fifth grade and provides rigorous academics, fantastic teachers, and a safe learning environment.

The opportunity and achievement gaps are apparent among our student population. Teachers are expected to deliver excellent instruction in science, math, English, and history without the requisite tools to teach our students.

My Project

My students need these floor seats so they can have place to sit rather than at their desks.

I haven't mastered the art of sitting and smiling.

Ashley Wagner

Hopefully with these floor seats, my students will have flexibility seating anywhere in the classroom. They can move these seats around and with the cushioned back support it will adjust to the perfect position. They can lay flat for easy storage and not take up too much space in the classroom! Which also makes them easy to move around and even if needed to use in another space in the school.
