My Project

My fabulous third graders are full of energy and love to learn! Flexible seating options like wobble chairs and floor seats would be an amazing addition to our classroom to help the kids sit more comfortably in class, use up some of their energy and help them focus in class. These chairs will also be a great incentive to encourage students to get excited about their work and enthusiastic about working in small groups.

As a first year teacher, my teaching and student engagement strategies are always evolving, and I am confident that the addition of flexible seating in my classroom will enhance student learning and help my students continue to grow as learners.

Thank you so much!
