This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Stout from Fenton, MO is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Essential Collaborative Comfortable Seating

Help me give my students alternative seating for their 90-minute blocks. Quality alternative seating is essential to creating a successful classroom community where students are more productive and focused moving from their cramped table seating.

My Project

Middle school Language Arts students spend an important amount of class time reading. This time is valued now more than ever as reading time outside of the classroom diminishes significantly during the middle school years. Reading proficiency, as well as the background knowledge and increased vocabulary students gain by reading, are imperative to students’ future success.

Reading at a traditional classroom desk or on a hard floor quickly becomes uncomfortable for middle school students.

This project will allow students a variety of choice seating during our treasured reading time. They will look forward to entering the classroom with an inviting reading space.

The choice seating I have requested includes small couches, saucer chairs, and large cushions for floor seating. This seating will provide opportunities for students to practice responsible, productive behavior, and self-regulation that support their seating choices.

Additionally, this seating will provide collaboration space during book club and discussions.
