My Project

Children have energy. They should not sit still for extended amounts of time. However, sometimes students are required to sit in their seats. Why not make it comfortable?

I am asking for seat and foot cushions to help my students become more successful learners.

I have already tried this with cushions we had at the school, and have had success. Giving my students access to cushions has increased their concentration and cut down on behavioral issues. The seat and foot cushions will give them an opportunity to get the wiggles out and learn at the same time.
