My Project

Last year wiggle seats were a hit, but I didn't have enough for all my students. We had a rotating schedule for flexible seating. The three wiggle seats on the list will be used every day among the other wiggle seats we received last year.

The bouncy bands are another tool that students will have access to during their learning time.

I've heard they can help kids focus and I want to make my classroom a space where they can do their best learning. Your donation will reach kids of many grade levels.
