Help me give my students the flexible seating they deserve. Allow small groups to happen when they need to happen - not when the furniture allows.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I have had the opportunity to use stools in my classroom for the last year. I have seen the difference it has made. Furniture is now another teacher in my room- allowing me to group students in seconds, change the groups mid-class as needed. The students are learning in groups that are meaningful for them each step of the class.
Now I just need more stools to make this a reality for every class every day.
I need 10 more stools to make sure that every student has the flexibility they need to be in the best location for learning.
