Ms. Barks from Chesterfield MO is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

I Like to Move it Move it While Learning

Help me give my students balance ball chairs and wobble stools so they have a choice in the type of seats they sit in. These help students move while learning!

My Students

My students love to move it when they are working. I am always looking for new ways to help my students stay engaged and become life long learners. Flexible seating will help us be able to move it in our seats while learning!

My Project

First graders have a lot of wiggles. They love to move around as they learn. Sitting in one spot for most of the day is hard for them. Flexible seating gives students a choice to decide where they learn best. They get to learn in an environment that is comfortable for them. This helps them love learning.

Balance ball seats and wobble stools allow students to move around while learning.

I am so excited to see these have an impact on my students' learning. Thanks for your time and consideration of supporting our classroom!
