My Project

My Kindergarten students love coming to school every day ready to learn. They are funny, sweet, smart and kind. They are a great group of kids who would love to use new flexible seating options!

I would love to use these cushions as another option, instead of chairs, for independent work time!

My students would love to use their new headphones for seat work on their laptops when they do our Language Arts program, Lexia. These cushions would make a huge difference in my students' enrichment and well-being at school. Thank you so much!
