My Students

My students are lively and energetic. They love to have fun while they are learning. My students love to spread out using our flexible seating in the classroom.

I find that my students are more productive when they get opportunities to deviate from the normal classroom activities.

My 3rd graders will be spending the whole day in our classroom with limited space for movement. They really love all of the flexible seating in my classroom!

Our school is a very tight-knit little community. Our parents and community members are involved and supportive and the kids benefit from that every day.

My Project

These ball chairs will allow students to move at their desks and give them an alternate seating option. At a time when our students' movements are being restricted to help keep them safe, it is so important to find other ways to incorporate movement into their day.

These ball chairs are a fantastic way for students to have that necessary movement in the classroom, and still stay a safe distance from others.

They also introduce an element of fun into our classroom, during a time when there is so much worry and stress, fun is definitely welcome.
