Wiggle While We Work

My students need 15 wobble cushions to sit on while they work in order to help them focus and learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Griesinger's classroom raised $268

My Students

My students are hard workers in grades kindergarten through sixth grade who are active learners and love to move. I want them to gain the social and emotional skills they need in order to be successful in life. My students need 15 wobble cushions so they can move while they work.

All of my students are unique but one thing is the same in each of them: they are active!

My students come from a variety of backgrounds and face many challenges before even entering our school. We work together everyday to overcome those challenges and reach new heights. I work with about 50 special education students every week, reaching kids with various disabilities. Movement helps all of my students to focus and learn.

My Project

My students need 15 wobble cushions to help them focus and learn. Wobble cushions will fit on their chairs and allow my students to sit and work in the ways that they need in order to learn. These cushions will be a wonderful addition to our social and emotional learning. The cushions will fit neatly on their chairs and my students will be able to move them around in order to support their learning throughout their classroom. With these cushions, my unique students will be able to read, write, listen, move and work together, without being distracted by their need for movement.

Wobble cushions will allow my students to become successful learners.

My students will no longer be distracted by their need for movement. They will be able to wiggle and learn at the same time, all because of their new cushions.
