Mrs. Flores from Houston TX is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Wobble! Rock! Bounce! Flexible Seating is the Life for Me!

Help me give my students flexible classroom seating, especially the High Back Lounger Bean Bag Chairs, which would benefit our students who require some support; but still need to be able to move around a bit.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are extremely excited to soak in all of the things their teachers are ready to teach! Our students live in a low socioeconomic area and approximately 85% of them receive free and reduced lunch.

They are busy PK and Kindergarten students who are learning about the fun and adventures that are in store for them as they begin their school journey!

Knowing how busy and restless little ones can be, makes me want to help ease their transition to a structured setting, and make it as unrestricted and fun as realistically possible.

My students all have different backgrounds and come from different home-life situations. As a counselor, I must accommodate each student/teacher and try to meet their needs as they come to me. Whether it be behavior, emotional, or academic support I strive to have the most effective resources possible to meets their needs.

My Project

Flexible seating is an amazing way to allow students the freedom to move around and to be able to make choices concerning their learning environment. It allows for an unrestricted, fun, and collaborative classroom.

With flexible seating, students are given the opportunity to learn effectively while remaining comfortable, calm, focused, and productive.

This is the cherry on top for making learning fun. Students who have a hard time sitting still will find themselves engaged and prepared.

When a student is acting out, it can be frustrating because the teacher is not able to deliver instruction effectively when addressing that student. I believe flexible seating will help alleviate those behaviors, in turn, allowing for more successful lessons!
