I teach Kindergarten in Chesapeake, VA. Kindergarten is such an important year because it’s many students’ first time being in school.
Anyone that knows a five or six year old knows they need to be engaged and moving at pretty much all times of the day.
That is why I am requesting items for my classroom; to help get them excited about learning.
My students deserve a wonderful place to call their own! Please help me create a classroom my students can feel safe, comfortable and loved in!
My Project
Everyone knows children children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength
Regular chairs force children’s bodies to conform to an unnatural posture.
An uncomfortable student, is a distracted and unproductive student. For example, picture a student who skipped or didn’t have access to breakfast. As the countdown to lunch approaches, the sound of his or her growling stomach will make it impossibly hard to hear the teacher’s voice. A uncomfortable chair can have the same affect.
Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive.
I would like to get these flexible seating options for my students to not only give the students an alternate seating option to traditional classroom chairs but help motivate them to learn as much as possible.
Please help us create a wonderful and exciting classroom environment!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
