First Grade Flexibility!

Help me give my students flexible seating options including wobble stools, lap desks, and a rug. Some work best when given the option of where to sit, and all of these will be wonderful choices for them!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McNeill's classroom raised $862

My Project

These seating options will be the perfect variety for my first grade students. Sometimes it helps their learning to be able to make a choice of where to sit and what they want to sit on. As we all know, it can get pretty uncomfortable sitting at a desk all day! In years past, I have seen improvement in attention spans and quality of work when students have the choice in where they sit so they can be the most successful. Please consider helping to provide these opportunities for them!
