  • Classroom Meeting Spot

    Funded May 5, 2020

    Thank you so much for your amazing donation! I cannot wait to brighten up our room with this amazing rug and provide the students a place to meet and create a homey learning environment. Your support for teachers is incredible and we are so grateful. Look out for the photos once everything's in place.”

  • Wobbly Wobbly Stools

    Funded May 29, 2019

    Thank you again for your amazing donation! My students have been loving every second of our flexible seating classroom. We are three weeks into the school year now and each week the students pick somewhere new to sit. Every week the wobbly stools are a huge hit and the students fight over them.

    Originally I wanted each table to have their own type of flexible seating. For instance, a wobbly stool table, a yoga ball table, regular chairs, etc. To be honest, the only reason for this is that the room seems more organized and atheistically pleasing. However, kids are kids and functionality is our top priority. Thus, the students move the seating all around the room and by the end of the day I've had 120 students in that classroom! Needless to say all of the seating gets very good use.

    The next steps would be to finally finish all of our beginning of the year testing and start our math centers. Thank you again!"”

As most kids are, my students are wiggly and lose focus easily. Most of them love math, but the math of today is all about discussions and collaboration with peers. It's difficult to do this when they're just sitting at their desks. Most of my kiddos are tall (taller than me), which equates to being crammed into these tiny desks and chairs. Flexible seating would be a whole new level of collaboration for these guys. They LOVE when I let them work around the room, and that's without any cool seating options and just the ground. I know they'll be so grateful to actually have comfy options that are specifically made for students and targets their focus.
