This teacher needs your help!

Flexible Seating

Help me give my students lap desks and floor cushions, so that they will be able to work closer to the teacher and give them some flexible seating options.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Spendlove's classroom raised $264

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During instruction time students will have the opportunity to sit closer to the smartboard and the teacher.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are working closer to the teacher, and close to the smartboard where a lot of our instruction takes place.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The lap desks will provide them with a space to write, and the cushions will give them a comfortable space to sit. All students will have the opportunity to use these items throughout the day.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
