My Project

In our 4th grade ELA classroom, students spend a large portion of their day reading, writing, and collaborating in small groups. Traditional desks and chairs often limit movement and comfort, which can make it harder for some students to stay focused and engaged. Flexible seating options like wobble stools, floor cushions, and scoop chairs give students the ability to choose a workspace that helps them do their best thinking. These chairs support different learning styles and create a welcoming, student-centered environment. With your help, we can create a classroom where every student feels comfortable, focused, and excited to learn. Your support will help turn our ELA classroom into a flexible, fun space where students can thrive. Thank you for helping us build a better learning experience!
