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 Project
In our second-grade classroom, we know kids learn best when they can move! That’s why we’re excited to bring in flexible seating and sensory tools to keep them focused and engaged. With your support, we can create a fun, flexible space where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
The items for this project—rocking floor seats, wiggle cushions, seat bands, and sensory tools—are designed to help students focus while allowing for legitimate movement.
Whether it's a wiggle cushion to give their bodies a bit of motion or a seat band to quietly fidget with their feet, these tools offer students a way to channel their energy productively. Rocking floor seats provide a cozy option for students who prefer to sit low and move while they work, and sensory tools help students self-regulate when they’re feeling overwhelmed or distracted.
By giving students the ability to choose seating that suits their needs, we’re fostering a classroom environment where everyone can thrive, both academically and emotionally. With your support, we can make sure each child has the tools they need to feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
