All-Star Kids Need Wiggle Seats!

My students need Wiggle Seat cushions that will help them stay focused throughout the day, as well as keep them comfortable while sitting at their desks or on the carpet.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Trudnowski's classroom raised $708

This project is fully funded

My Students

My very creative and enthusiastic class is called "The Second Grade All-Stars", because we love baseball. Our classroom has a baseball theme - our table groups are named after bases (1st base, 2nd base, etc.) and our class meeting area is called the "All-Star Dugout".

My All-Star 2nd grade students attend an amazing school right in the heart of the largest city in Washington State.

60% of my students speak two or more languages. My school is extremely unique, its design is called "open concept" because there are no walls between the classroom teaching spaces (just low bookshelves.) What makes this design so innovative is that it supports close collaboration and team teaching among the staff, and the students get to easily work with their classmates who are right next door in the neighboring classroom.

My Project

My All-Star Washington State 2nd grade students are excited, active learners who love school. Because of the "open concept" design of our school, there are no walls between the classrooms. This means that sometimes there are distractions for the students (some students more than others).

Having a comfy inflated "wiggle seat" cushion at each chair will enable my students to focus and concentrate more readily as they are doing their work.

I am asking for twenty-eight Cando Inflatable Vestibular Disc "Wiggle seats" that will make it possible for my students to move and rock. Another bonus is that students will be able to take their "wiggle seats" with them when the class meets on the carpet.

The "wiggle seats" will allow my students to increase their focus and concentration and take tests and assessments to the best of their ability.

Thank you so much for your support.
