This teacher needs your help!

Flexible & Fidgetting First Graders

Help me give my students wobble chairs, fidget feet, and yoga balls to allow our students to move their bodies, quietly, while learning and working independently.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hughes's classroom raised $239

This project is fully funded

My Project

111 students would greatly appreciate your support in raising funds to supply them with flexible seating to support a productive learning experience. The wobble chairs will be used in small groups. The fidget feet will be provided to students who need them during independent work. These students often rock in their chairs leading to unsafe seating arrangements. The yoga donuts will be used during carpet time. These are costly items that I cannot supply on my own so I would appreciate your help. They would improve the learning experience of our developing learners.
