This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Kelley from West Plains, MO is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Flexible Seating vs. Concrete Floor

Help me give my students flexible seating options like wobble seats for small group work, independent reading, and partner work. This will open up areas in our classroom that they can use instead of the concrete floor.

My Project

The floor in our classroom is concrete.

I am new to the school district, my classroom only has desks and chairs, but no other seating for around the room.

The students do not have seating options for small group/partner or independent work.

I would love to provide my students with options in seating when working with me or in partners around the room. This would allow the entire classroom space to be used for learning.

Students lose focus when they are still for too long. These seating options allow them to move around the room and even move while they are learning. I love to keep my students active all day long so the learning environment is running at the optimum level.
