We're always looking for new ways to add to the classroom, so if you're interested in donating anything to our flexible seating, we're looking for (click the green links!):
- At least 6 square floor pillows along the lines of this one
- Sterilite crates like this one to make crate seats like this
- Cheap bath rug mats for kids to sit on that look like this
- Sterilite trays (quantity: 7-10)
If you are interested in more detail and more research, please let me know and I will provide it. Here is an article called, "Why the 21st Century Classroom May Remind You of Starbucks" by an author/teacher named Kayla Delzer who has done extensive research on flexible seating in the classroom. The article answers a lot of FAQs.
Thank you for supporting your child's learning! I look forward to seeing how my students grow and learn in a new environment. Please let me know if you have any questions!
