I have an inquisitive group of students who are always excited and eager to learn new things, especially with technology. Our classroom consists of a diverse group of students with varying disabilities including ADHD, specific learning disabilities, behavior difficulties.
My students are very energetic and always on the move and expecting them to stay seated in a regular chair all day is challenging.
Having these flexible seat cushions will allow my students to be more focused while working on individual as well as small group tasks using the various journaling activities (SEL, Growth Mindset, Reading and Math).
Funding this project would ensure that my students have the essential materials to be successful in the classroom.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
