Flexible Seating Will Help My Gifted Movers and Shakers!
My students need flexible seating options in my gifted classroom. Many of the students in my class have sensory processing issues, so different seating options will help them shine!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jensen's classroom raised $406

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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 Students
My classroom is a combination 2nd and 3rd grade classroom of gifted children. The students in my gifted classroom are able to process information at a higher level than most students their age.
In my classroom, we focus on exposure to science and math-based job opportunities, STEM projects, hands-on lessons, and project-based learning.
The students in my class need less repetitions than most kids their age need to master information, so we are able to move at a faster pace than their grade-level peers.
My Project
Gifted kids with sensory processing disorders have a hard time receiving and processing information that comes in through the senses. Many of these students are unable to focus on work because they are fixated on sensory input.
These flexible seating options will help my gifted students focus on classwork and show their true potential!
The seats I have selected will help these "movers and shakers" get their wiggles out while allowing them to have important conversations with classmates and completing assignments. Yoga balls and wobble stools specifically are two seating options that we have found really enhance student learning. With these seats, we will be able to spend less class time taking wiggle breaks and more class time learning!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
