  • Flexible Seating, Flexible Minds

    Funded Feb 28, 2019

    We can't thank you enough for this wonderful gift. My students have been loving their new flexible seating. They love the choice they have when choosing their place in the classroom to learn and they are more motivated than ever to come to school and work their hardest. This has been a game changer for my wonderful students and we thank you for this amazing opportunity to continue on such a great path. You have made our classroom a place where all of my "kids" can learn in the best way possible and enjoy their environment that much more.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Breit

  • A Book Can Change A Life 📚

    Funded May 29, 2018

    We want to thank you so much for adding to our classroom library. I have never seen my students more excited to "find" a just right book and sit down for, sometimes an hour, and read. They love the themes and the different titles and are more than excited to finish a book just to start a new one.

    It is with great gratitude that we write this letter to you and share how wonderful it is to be able to have so many choices. That is all because of you and your generous donations. So THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Breit

  • Flexible Seating Creating Flexible Minds!

    Funded Apr 22, 2018

    This amazing gift that you have given us has really improved every aspect of our learning. We love being able to choose where we will learn best. This has really changed the dynamics of our classroom. Most of the students have never seen or heard of flexible seating. They didn't understand the impact of what it would do for them. They also didn't understand how so many wonderful people wanted to help their learning process. We are so humbled by all of your generosity. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and willingness to help not only us but the students who will continue to benefit from these wonderful tools in the classroom. So, thank you and from the bottom of our hearts.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Breit

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor seats and the beanbag chair will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more
