Learning Doesn’t Have to Be at a Desk

Help me give my students flexible seating options for the classroom such as cushions and stools.

  • This project is not currently eligible for funding.
  • $386 goal

My Project

Flexible seating allows my students to take charge of their learning. It helps them feel empowered when they have a choice of where they do their work. My students are full of energy and are not engaged if they are stuck in their seats all day long. They need lots of brain breaks and fun activities to keep them engaged.

Help give them options that are fun and comfortable that will allow them to really focus on their learning.

The cushions will give my students a comfy seat wherever they choose in the classroom to learn. The stools and ottoman will make group work more exciting for my students because they can choose where they sit.

Please help bring flexible seating to my classroom and choices in their learning for my students.
