This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Torres from Modesto, CA is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

A Bean Bag a Day Keeps the Students at Bay

Help me give my students a comfortable seating option while being vulnerable and diving deep into their emotions in our counseling sessions because they cannot focus on the academics until their mental health is supported.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students need to feel at ease as they dive into their feelings. My job is unique as I am primarily a mental health counselor supporting students in special education, as well as in crisis. This may seem like a small thing, to provide comfortable seating with bean bag chairs, but in a vulnerable setting, it can be the world of a difference.

They need fidgets as they dive into their feelings and become vulnerable, but I have a smaller office.

The ottomans with storage space will allow me to store more fidgets for more choice and sense of control for my students.

Thank you for any support you can provide for my students.

Ms. Torres
Grades 6-8
