My Project

Sitting in the same hard chair all day can make it difficult for many students to stay focused and comfortable. Flexible seating would give my students more choice in how they learn by providing seating options that support movement, comfort, and concentration throughout the day.

With flexible seating options, my classroom can become a space where students feel empowered to do their best work.

These tools will help create a more engaging learning environment where students can move safely, stay focused longer, and feel more successful academically and socially. As a first-year teacher, I am working hard to create a classroom where every student feels supported, successful, and ready to grow. Your generosity will help me reach this goal!
