Ms. Kline from Saint Paul MN is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

So DeafBlind Kids Don't Fall!

Help me give my students seat pockets to keep their materials in a safe place, off the ground so DeafBlind students don't trip over them and a device for the laptop to be able to perform video editing!

My Students

I teach Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing middle school students who use American Sign Language as their primary mode of communication. We are a bilingual school, so all instruction is taught both in English and American Sign Language.

These kids are great, and I am not just saying that!

They come from all over the world, many from refugee camps, first generation Americans, first generation Deaf, and truly pioneers. They are a family to one another. They're kind, loving, smart, and all around great people.

My Project

The seat pockets will give students a secure place to store their classroom materials including Chromebooks, notebooks, folders, etc. DeafBlind kids keep tripping over materials that are placed on the floor and this creates a safety hazard.

The laptop adapter allows me to create more content for my students by video editing, but I cannot connect all items I need to my laptop right now because it is limited to two USB-C ports and I need USB and USB-C ports to be able to use a mouse and external monitor.
