  • 21 Century Classroom Innovation! It’s All About You

    Funded Aug 2, 2019

    The resources you provided for our classroom environment were amazing! The children were besides themselves! It never occurred to them that learning in a classroom environment could actually be fun!

    The students had the opportunity to chose what flexible seating option was the best fit for them on that day. In choosing what was best for them they felt that they had been provided the opportunity to have a say in their learning styles. They were given student agency.

    As a result of this environment. the children were not only motivated to learn, but their academic scores soared as per state testing results. Having flexible seating in our classroom was definitely a blessing! It was all because YOU MADE IT POSSIBLE!!

    THANK YOU!!!!”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. Figarola

  • If I Can Focus, I Can Learn!

    Funded Oct 31, 2018

    I can't thank you enough for our flexible seating! The children have truly enjoyed them. The idea of not having to be confined to a particular structured seating environment has impacted my students focus immensely! The children were motivated to learn, they felt that they could choose what in their opinion worked best for them! They finally had a SAY IN THEIR EDUCATION. My students felt empowered, they felt proud of their classroom setting! This setting taught them to share, to be empathetic, to bond, to be patient, to cooperate, to be creative, to become more knowledgeable, to share, but most importantly, it boosted their desire to learn!

    As a result of their focus, and willingness to learn, these children scored phenomenally on their state assessments! YOU HAVE CERTAINLY IMPACTED THEIR LIVES!! THANKS TO YOU, THEY WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR 5TH GRADE YEAR AT SOUTH POINTE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!! These children are our future, and I was proud to be a part of their journey!”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. Figarola

My students all have different learning abilities. Having the option of flexible seating in the classroom will provide them with the opportunity to learn in their own personal way. When you provide a child with options, they feel comfortable, they feel as if they belong, this motivates them to succeed. By providing them with the opportunity to choose their own learning environment, You are allowing them to develop their wings so they can soar! Remember that these children are our future!!! Please help me help them be the best they can be by providing them with the opportunity to choose their flexible seating option.
