Each year students come to school and are asked to sit in an assigned desk for most of the day. I want to change the way students and adults think of learning, and with your help, we can provide a just right space for students to work throughout the day. As adults, we have choice in where and how we learn best, and that is what I want to provide for my students. What would it be like if the classroom was an even better extension of our homes, or even better, the work places that foster creativity. With multiple seating options, students will have a choice many times throughout the day to choose a spot that will be just right for the task at hand to support optimal learning. I strive myself on looking at research and best practices in all aspects of learning including the learning environment, which is many times forgotten. Not only do these options provide choice, they also have an ergonomic design that supports core strength and correct posture throughout the day. Some of the the other benefits of flexible seating include increased motivation and engagement, using up excess energy, creating a better oxygen flow to the brain. It's no surprise that choice and physical movement that is provided by these seating options is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior. We know you have a choice each and every day how and whom you help, and we really appreciate your reading through our DonorsChoose project. If you choose to help fund us, you will be making a difference not only for the students in this class, but for all the students in the future that will also get to benefit from continued use of these items. Thank you!
