Mrs. Suarez from La Mesa, CA is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Take Your Seat! Flexible Seating for All

Help me give my students flexible seating so they can support their need to move while learning. A raised desk or a bean bag can feel more comfortable, which will enhance their ability to focus and learn.

My Project

I love that my students are all unique in their own way. Each of them are capable of anything they put their mind to. But sometimes their true abilities need some flexibility. I am proud to provide a space for them to be themselves and learn in a way that works for them.

My students range from mild to moderate disabilities, but that doesn’t stop them.

What does hinder them is sitting quietly in a desk for long periods of time. Who says that is always the correct way to learn? Not me. And not my students. Help give them a chance to learn their way.
