Flexible seating has become widespread use in the classroom. In our co-taught classroom, we hope to provide students with more options such as stack stools, wobble stools, and wobble cushions. This is a big help to students who need to fidget to focus. We are also seeking a class headphone set to replace the broken ones we have. Our students will benefit from these greatly and be able to focus better on their Chromebooks. Lastly, our class is in need of a better pencil sharpener that is safe for the students to use and a paper cutter. Your donation to our project would lead to students staying engaged and increasing their academic achievement by lighting a spark in their minds through the educational possibilities this project could bring. Students would be able to have alternative seating, a way to organize their pencils with their toothbrush holders, and more Chromebook opportunities with new headphones. We would be able to use the paper cutter to create centers and other educational projects for our students. This project can open up to so many possibilities for our students!
