My students need to move, they can't concentrate and sit still for any extended period, so these fidget cushions help solve that and get them focused on learning.

My Students
There are many people who don't enjoy their job very much. One reason could be that they don't work with 10-year-olds. Ten-year-olds, (my 34 ten-year-olds) are enthusiastic, loving, curious, chatty, fun, and kind. These children are a joy to work with, and I want to do all I can to best serve them. They deserve my best, and they deserve the best from the community as well.
These ten-year-olds are hard workers, and it's not like they have things easy.
They don't come from affluent areas. They come from broken homes and even have language and learning barriers. But they persevere, and that is why I admire them and love working with them so much.
My Project
Elementary kids suffer physically if they need to sit for any period of time. They quickly lose focus and can't learn if asked to sit too long in a chair. These wonderful fidget cushions were invented to solve that very real need for children to move and wiggle.
If this project gets funded, these cushions satisfy the need to move so my students can actually focus on all their learning and tasks they need to do and can finally achieve success.
I truly believe these cushions can change their education. Many kids suffer in their classroom because they are asked to do something they can't physically do.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
