My Project

The past two years have taken a toll on my second grade students. They have never completed a full year of in-person schooling and it shows. Emotionally, socially, academically, behaviorally... my students have been affected by this pandemic in so many ways and the least I can do is to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment. My goal is to provide a place where students can come to learn and also to take risks and share what is going on in their lives. Flexible seating can help with all of this and improve student morale.

With your help, my students can get out their wiggles on the Wobble Stools and can relax and enjoy independent reading time on new, comfy chairs.

As you know, not all learners do well seated in the traditional setting with traditional desks and chairs. I would love to give my students more options to help meet their learning styles and needs. Thank you for your consideration!
