Alternative Seating for Energetic Students!

Help me give my students alternative seating such as wobble stools, yoga ball chairs & fidget chair bands to help with concentration.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cindy Paal Room 202's classroom raised $540

This project is fully funded

My Project

I work with a group of the most amazing students at an inner-city, special education, center-based school. They come to school with bright smiles on their faces and make the most of each day.

My autistic support classroom has 5 students with challenges ranging from autism to multiple disabilities.

Most of my students have limited language skills and communication devices, and all of them have huge hearts and are happy to come to school every day!

My students are full of energy! They like to walk around and stay on the move. The wobble stools, ball chairs and fidget chair bands will help them concentrate and stay in motion while in their seats.
