Help me give my students a bean bag which can be soft and comfortable construction that will calm my students and give them a spot to decompress while having quiet time.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Emsak's classroom raised $323

My Project
A bean bag can be beneficial in our classroom setting and for my students with autism because it will provide them a comfortable, flexible seating option that can promote relaxation; improve focus during reading; quiet activities, and create a more welcoming learning environment, especially when used in designated calming areas within our classroom.
A bean bag chair will support our students' physical wellness and will help them become active.
All that can be attributed to its ergonomic features, which allow it to mould around the students' back. Unlike traditional chairs, bean bags support students’ necks, shoulders, head, and back while offering comfort.
Proper posture and comfort in the classroom contribute to a positive learning experience because an uncomfortable child is often disengaged.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
