Help me give my students wobble stools and balancing balls for flexible seating in our classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rourke's classroom raised $637

My Students

My first graders are very curious and eager to learn. They are very active and engaged learners. My hope is for them to build a solid foundation of skills to build upon each year throughout their school career.

My wonderful students are very sweet, thoughtful, caring, and hands on learners.

These first graders work very hard and love to learn. They are eager to share their ideas. They encourage each other and help bring out the best in one another.

My Project

When walking into a classroom students can feel safe, welcome, and excited when they have choices. Providing flexible seating options will encourage students to make positive choices. This will allow students the opportunity to have ownership over their learning environment.

These ideal sets of furniture will surely change our classroom environment and my students will be more excited and engaged at school in their everyday work!

These wobble stools and balancing balls are great for all the different learning styles. Students who struggle sitting still can move while staying focused. The butterfly stools can be arranged for collaborate work. Students will be able to easily move their seats around the classroom and find a successful spot.
