My Project

Dear Generous Donors,

I am a sixth-grade teacher passionate about creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment for my students.

My goal is to provide flexible seating options to enhance focus, collaboration, and overall classroom experience.

In my classroom, I have a diverse group of learners with different needs. Traditional desks and chairs do not always accommodate the various learning styles and comfort levels of my students. Some students focus better when they can move, while others need a comfortable space to work independently or with peers. Flexible seating allows students to choose the best learning spot for them, fostering a sense of responsibility, independence, and engagement in their education.

Research shows that flexible seating improves student motivation, increases engagement, and promotes collaboration. By incorporating options such as wobble stools, cushioned floor seating, and standing desks, I can create a more inclusive and stimulating learning environment. My students will have the freedom to select seating that helps them stay focused and engaged in their work.

Unfortunately, providing these resources comes with a cost that exceeds my classroom budget. With your support, I can transform my classroom into a student-centered space that enhances learning and accommodates the needs of all students. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on my students’ academic success and overall well-being.

Thank you for considering my project and for supporting students' learning experiences!

With gratitude

Ms. Nichols
