My Project

This year, I am teaching a multi-age 3rd and 4th grade Gifted Renaissance class. My students are eager to learn and full of energy! I have noticed constant rocking and wiggling among many other urges to move. I am hoping to create an environment that gives my students the ability to move beyond their desks to get their creative juices flowing!

Students will be able to use the scoop rocker chairs, lap desks, and balance balls to help bring the gift of flexible seating into our classroom.

Please, help me, help them to find comfort, choice and flexibility within our classroom.
