My students need seating options for use in the classroom to meet their varying sensory needs. These bean bags and wobble chairs will be a great addition to our library and morning meeting space!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Casolo's classroom raised $453
This project is fully funded
My Students
These incredible students are between the ages of 3 and 5 who are beginning their educational journey! They live in our nation's capital and are learning in a school where nearly 100% of the students qualify for free and reduced lunch. The kids in my classroom have a wide range of developmental disabilities and are working towards kinder readiness through play.
These kids are eager to grow and learn, and come to school to play, draw, read, and build with their peers.
We cannot wait for a new school year full of opportunities!
My Project
These materials will give my students the freedom to choose where they sit while working in the classroom. We would be so lucky to have these additions to our brand-new self-contained classroom!
The bean bags and wobble stools will be used in the library and at the whole group table to meet students' different needs, and we are excited to be able to provide a choice for our students.
The wobble chairs will increase oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength as well as increase problem solving and turn taking skills. The bean bags will be placed in the library, giving them additional sensory input and a sense of comfort as they are enjoying their new favorite book. These two types of seating will be a fun and beneficial alternative to the traditional classroom chairs!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
