My Students

I have 28 amazing sixth graders that are learning about the world around them as well as developing skills to help them transition to middle school. They are a fun and energetic group and would greatly benefit from having alternative seating to aid with movement and focus. We are in a relocatable building which does not have a lot of space for movement and it's pretty easy to become distracted.

Flexible seating would allow my students to have options, as well as help with focus.

Movement outside is important, too, which is why I am asking for some playground equipment. Teamwork is greatly encouraged in our room, and my students need options for recess that are engaging.

My Project

It can be hard to sit still all day and focus on learning! Optional seating such as wobble chairs and yoga balls will make the students more comfortable as well as give them movement that will not distract from the learning of those around them.

Our class would benefit from more options for indoor and outdoor play.

The additional play equipment will encourage teamwork and help with coordination a well as keep them active. Students who have had quality activity outside will be more focused on learning when back in the classroom. Playing kickball in the spring will be wonderful on those really nice weather days!
