Help me give my students more options for flexible seating. The wobble discs, wobble chairs, balance balls, comfy floor seat, and bean bag chair will help even my most energetic students stay focused on their work.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
A lot of the students I teach come from high-poverty, low socioeconomic families and qualify for free or reduced rate lunch. About a third of the students in our district qualify as homeless. The area where they live is not always safe because of frequent gang activity in the area; therefore, playing outside to get their wiggles out is not always an option.
Most of my students are English language learners and come from families who only speak Spanish, so they don't always have that English support they need to practice their English skills they learn at school.
Some of the students' parents are migrant and/or field workers, so they often don't see their parents until late at night. My students often have to do their homework without parental support.
My Project
When was the last time you were able to focus on your work sitting on a hard chair all day? I have quite a few students this year who are very active and energetic, and sometimes a hard chair just doesn't help with focusing their energy into their work. If you've ever seen students with ADHD, their bodies are always moving, so they really struggle to sit still, which causes them to lose their focus on their schoolwork.
These flexible seating options will help my active and energetic students focus on their work because the wobble discs, wobble stools, and balance balls will help them to maintain their wiggles, while the bean bag chair and floor seat will provide a more calm and relaxing seating option.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
