Flexible Seating Creates Enthusiastic Learning!

Help me give my students flexible seating options, like the Balance Ball Chair, to support different learning styles! Thank you for your support!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Halpin's classroom raised $209

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are joyful second and third graders who work in a smaller classroom environment to have their special needs best supported. These youngsters thrive when their interests, needs, and preferences are recognized, celebrated, and thoughtfully supported.

The materials will provide them with seating options to use during lessons and independent work.

When seated on balance ball they will get amazing sensory feedback throughout their bodies as they roll, swivel, and bounce. The portable laptops will provide a choice other than desktop for motivated learning during the day.

Having seating options is so motivation for my kids. They will absolutely enjoy these balance balls and portable laptops.
