The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! Traditional desks along with paper and pencil learning and having a teacher standing in front of the classroom are no longer what our students need to learn and make real world connections. They need FLEXIBILITY and choice and this system of flexible seating will do exactly that. The Wobble Chair that I'm requesting is not just a piece of furniture...it's a LIFE-Changer for active kids, kids with ADHD and Autistic kids...Aggressive wobbling on a KORE Chair increases blood to the brain and thereby quiets the requirement for fidgety kids to move...Kids learn better and are more productive...the Kid who may be considered "unteachable" is now able to learn!" The balance ball will also help increase focus by keeping the body active and the mind engaged simultaneously. All of the various seating options that I am requesting will help improve the overall quality of learning for ALL my students in the classroom. and In your essay, I’d like to hear more about the items you’re requesting. The main portion of your essay should include specific details about the items you chose for your project and how you plan to use them in your classroom. This will help donors understand and connect to the goal of your project.Your donation will help my eager middle school students thrive in the classroom and take my classroom setup from ordinary to extraordinary. Thank you in advance.
