My Project

My kindergarten kiddos are full of potential and it is my goal to set them up for academic success! I want them to be so comfortable in our classroom that they don't even realize they are learning. I want them to be having FUN. Providing a positive first year experience will foster a love for school and learning.

To do this they need to be comfortable and feel free to meet their physical needs.

Students at this age should not be expected to sit at a table in a chair or on the floor all day. I am asking for some flexible seating options, such as rocking scoop floor seats; floor lap desks; big, comfortable floor cushions; and yoga ball chairs. These items will provide options to be comfortable and ready to learn.
