Sensory/Flexible Seating for Busy Bodies

Help me give my students flexible seating arrangements! I have very busy kindergarteners that need options to move and sit. I would love to give them the flexibility to help keep them focused!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Greene's classroom raised $1,035

My Project

I work in a Tier 1 school with low-income families. This is my first-year teaching Kindergarten and I have loved getting to know by kids, but I have a lot of students that have a difficult time sitting in their chairs or they need constant movement. I do allow them "brain breaks" and for them to stand at their desk, but I would love to be able to provide my kids with a flexible seating arrangement to help them with their focus and high energy. This would be an absolute blessing to my kids!
