My Project

My classroom is filled with energetic, curious, and creative learners who come to school every day ready to explore. Every student has a unique way of learning, and for many of them, staying still in traditional classroom chairs for long periods can be a real challenge. They learn best when they can channel their energy productively, stay engaged, and move while they think.

With active seating options—such as wobble stools, balance cushions, and flexible seating chairs—my students will be able to move safely and subtly while staying focused on their work.

Research shows that flexible seating improves posture, boosts engagement, and helps students regulate their focus throughout the school day.

By funding this project, you are giving my students the freedom to choose a comfortable seating style that meets their sensory and physical needs. These active seating options will transform our classroom into a more dynamic, inclusive, and supportive environment where every child has the tools they need to succeed!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
