Help me give my students flexible seating opportunities. Creativity does not always take place while sitting still at a traditional desk. Using a portable lap desks and balance cushions may just help get those creative juices flowing!

My Students
I have been teaching for more than 30 years and still LOVE every minute of it!!! My Title 1, Gifted students are the reason why I can't seem to pick a retirement date. They are a close knit group of learners who encourage one another and enjoy working together.
My students come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures; each one with their own individual learning style.
This has given all of us an opportunity to learn from each other. They LOVE to read, research via the web, and create student centered projects. These amazing, energetic, elementary students are the future leaders of tomorrow.
My Project
Do you remember when you were a student? You had a standard desk with all the required school supplies but, where did you really want to sit? Where did you do you best work?
The materials requested for this project will give my students a variety of flexible seating choices.
Some of my students prefer to sit on the floor, using the seats of their chairs as tables. Others opt to sit in foldable camping chairs with clipboards used for note taking.
My little ones, some who have the wiggles, will be able to grab a portable desk or cushion and find the perfect place to work. Students who simply have to move their legs as they write, will be able bounce their feet on the chair bands.
In short, flexible seating will allow my students to be comfortable, as they learn and their creative juices flow.
More than half of students from low‑income households
