My students need flexible seating in the Writing Workshop to support their differentiated learning styles. Quality items such as Wobble and Swivel Chairs empower students to choose which seating best suits their individual needs while writing!
My school is a school located in a low-income neighborhood with scholars from diverse backgrounds. Over 75% of the population qualifies for free school meals. Despite socioeconomic disadvantages, our melting pot of scholars possess a positive outlook on learning.
Our scholars are eager to learn and deserve to have high quality experiences and educational resources.
Majority of our 5th grade scholars have yet to experience the luxury of flexible seating. Colorful unique seating choices would add warmth and individuality to our classroom community.
My Project
I am a 5th grade writing teacher in a Title 1 school. With outdated furniture, scholars often face challenges writing for extended periods of time in the writing workshop.
Picture this: Leg cramps, discomfort, and not letting your creative juices flow because of a stiff desk and chair !
Well, those days are now behind us. With flexible seating, the Writing Workshop will receive a much needed makeover.
Scholars will be empowered to choose which seating best suits their individual needs, and look forward to writing essays and short stories with comfort and appreciation of our classroom community. With your donation, over 100 scholars can wobble, wiggle, and WRITE !
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
