Support for Fidgety Friends

My students need three Move and Sit cushions to help give them a chance to safely squirm while they are doing seat work.

Please help us have the opportunity to safely squirm in our seats while we complete our class work!

My goal as a kindergarten teacher is to instill a love of learning in my students. My other goal is to give them the skills and strategies to become learners. Part of this goal involves short periods of the day when students will complete seat work. This can be very challenging for some of my learners because of their differing rates of development. Because young children develop at such different levels and at different rates, sometimes it is difficult for them to sit for any period of time-especially in their seats.

I am requesting three Move N'Sit cushions for my classroom. These cushions provide excellent postural support and offer my 'fidgety' friends a chance to safely squirm in their seats while they are completing class work.

Your help will ensure that my students (and future kindergarten students) will continue to have a positive first learning experience.
