My Project

Hello! First off, thank you for supporting students and classrooms like mine. Your donations mean the world to us teachers, as you help us provide safe, clean, equitable, and amazing classroom experiences for our students.

What if you classroom was an experience, not just boring desks and boring notes?

But a lively space, with different seating options, a fun teacher, and activities to make learning interactive. Well, we have the last two parts down- we just need help with the first! To make this classroom truly a home, different seating is necessary.

Students with with ADHD, and other learning differentiations are top priority in My classroom, where these new seating options will be available. This will make a difference in their learning experience as students have more choice and free will, which is what we always intend to have in our classrooms. My goal is to make seating accessible for all students in my class. Your donations will will help me reach that goal.
