Mrs. Och from Hutchinson MN is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Classroom Sweet Classroom

Help me give my students a more established classroom with a homey feel! The new furniture and organization would help students (and myself) feel less stress.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them.

They are more engaged and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The comfy floor seats and the shapeable couch/chair will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. The rocking chair will offer a better read-aloud environment for the students along with the use of the adjustable table for note-taking. Other items listed will help replenish supplies that are used often throughout the school year as well as offer me a space that is able to improve my work.

I hope that these additional items will help us grow even more as a classroom for now and many years to come. (:

Mrs. Och will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 7.
