Ms. R. from Bloomfield CT is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Flexible Seating for Focus and Fun!

Help me give my students more flexible seating options. The wobble chairs and wobble cushions have been the most frequently used and least disruptive to the learning environment.

My Students

My students are active, talented and creative stars-in-the-making! They engage in a wide variety of learning activities each day, constantly showing perseverance and stamina as we explore challenging writing skills that will take them beyond middle school into successful high school careers and beyond!

We work extremely hard from 8:30-3:40 every day to strive for both academic gains, but also to perfect their chosen art forms!

Many volunteer to stay until 4:15 to rehearse, practice and master their creative crafts!

My Project

There is no cookie cutter way for all learners to be successful. Alternate seating lets them move! My students struggle to sit still for 80 minute blocks! I have had great success with the use of the wobble chair and the wiggle cushion. Let's set them up to increase focus and fun!

They are great, portable and non-disruptive options that are also durable!

I only have 2 in my classroom and would love to add more! Help me to get my kids to sit still long enough for me to teach them! Kids can move in their seats without disrupting others! It's amazing!
