Flexible seating will allow students to have a voice and choice with their learning. This research based way to personalize learning increases students’ achievement. I would like to help my students feel more comfortable in the classroom by offering a choice for their learning needs. I would like to get rid of my uncomfortable desks and chairs. Once expectations and rules are set, students will be able to make choices about where they’ll learn best. Thank you to anyone who donates money to help my students. We truly appreciate any help you can provide 😊 I can’t do this alone.
