My Students

Please help us improve our learning and motivate the students in our classroom. We are very eager to learn and succeed and just need the right tools to move forward!

I have a wonderful group of 1st-grade students who would love your support!

They are very hardworking and want nothing more to be successful young learners. They are energetic and have a strong desire to learn. We are a rural school in a small community. Our school has approximately 300 students.

My Project

I have a very active group of 1st grade students. They have a strong passion for learning and just love life in general. We are in need of some additional seating options for our busy bodies.

With these flexible seating options, we will be able to collaborate, create and have more choices when it comes to learning.

Students will be able to utilize the balance balls and wobble stools when they feel they need movement in everyday instruction. These seating options will be utilized during whole group, small group and center time. This will help continue and promote learning.

Thank you for helping transform our classroom into a flexible seating environment.
