Mrs. Martin from Park City UT is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Optimal Learning for Our Movers and Shakers!

Help me give my students wobble chairs! We have 29-year-old chairs in our room that are falling apart. We have two wobble chairs and all the kids say they are their favorite to sit on while learning.

My Students

My students are 5 and 6 year's old which makes them pandemic toddlers. COVID-19 shut down schools when these kids were 3 years old. Most of what they remember in life has been during this pandemic. Their normal is not normal. However, even with the craziness the world is in, they continue to have a positive outlook and roll with whatever new mitigation practices we have in place.

My Project

My kindergarten students this year are more fidgety and restless than ever before. They have been confined in various ways over the last two years since COVID-19 took over.

Our current classroom chairs are 29 years old and some of them don't glide on the carpet resulting in students falling off their chairs.

We have two wobble chairs in our room and the consensus from students is that they all learn best when sitting on the wobble chairs. Currently, we have to take turns with the two wobble chairs we have. How amazing would it be if all students had the opportunity to learn on a chair they feel is best for their need to move?!
