Help me give my students flexible seating options to support their learning and focus.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Van Kirk's classroom raised $235
This project is fully funded
My Project
My classroom is a place that encourages reading. I have flexible seating options to support all different types of learners.
These two chairs will be fantastic options for my readers.
I find that when my students are relaxed and comfortable, they are a lot more willing to do the hard work. The chairs support students who don't always enjoy reading because the chairs allow them to get some movement out while still reading.
Every class period begins with 15 minutes of choice reading. More students are engaged during the entire time now that I have flexible seating options.
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
