The Future of Flexible Seating

Help me give my students the flexible and comfortable seating that they deserve.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Szachacz's classroom raised $327

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In my co-teaching year I have learned that there are so many different ways that students can learn. My students particularly loved the flexible seating options that my mentor had provided for them. Next fall when I have a classroom of my own, I hope to do the same for my future students.

Sometimes you just need to change the environment that students are in, in order to meet their needs.

Perspective is everything, and everyone learns in different ways.

Please help me provide my future students with a comfortable, flexible classroom.
