    This classroom project was brought to life by An Anonymous Arts Funder and one other donor.
Flexible seating is my first goal! I have twenty-five, small desks in my classroom and students must share with a student from the afternoon. Each desk is shared by one morning student and one afternoon student. This leaves them with a tiny space to keep their textbooks and materials. Sometimes their texts get written in by the wrong student or their materials go missing and this is simply uncomfortable for everyone! Not to mention, sitting in a chair all day long can be exhausting. We want our kids to enjoy learning, not dread it! With our new flexible seating, we can get rid of our desks and use tables and I will place their materials in their personalized bin for them to store when they are not in my classroom! The students and I together, have chosen the flexible seating that would help us the most. With five balance balls, we will set up a table where these balls can be used by students on a rotation schedule because the students love them so much! We have to be fair! Here they will be able to work all day and concentrate on their work. We also choose about twelve wobble seats because it is a more affordable and we get similar benefits of a balance ball! These will be used at tables where students will use them all day as well. Similarly, the floor cushions will be placed on a low table where they can work comfortably throughout the day. Lastly, we chose a couple laptop stands for our computer time. With your contribution, you can help my fifty students have a comfortable, fun, innovative way to learn!
