My Project

As a first year teacher, I am passionate about fostering a dynamic learning environment that caters to the diverse needs of my students. One effective strategy I would like to implement is flexible seating options for my students such as wobble seats, stools, and floor desks.

Research shows that flexible seating can enhance student engagement and improve learning outcomes.

Traditional desks can be limiting for some learners, and by providing alternative seating options, I can create a more inclusive atmosphere. This grant will enable me to acquire these essential resources, allowing my students who struggle with traditional seating to thrive.

Investing in flexible seating isn't just about comfort; its about transforming the learning experience. By giving students the choice of how and where they learn, I can cultivate a classroom culture that values individual learning needs. This donation will play a crucial role in making this vision a reality, which would ultimately benefit my student's overall growth and development.
