My Students

I have a great group of high energy, high enthusiasm 6th graders. Unfortunately, their energy and excitement sometimes get in the way of their learning. I have a number of students that need to be in constant motion to focus and to get things done. I have another group of students that could use some positive reinforcement for their good behavior. I was hoping that I could get your help to do both in one shot. Thank you so much for your help!

My Project

These chairs will help my students by allowing them to move and wiggle while they work. I have students that need to be in constant motion in order to focus or be productive. With that, they have turned to leaning in their chairs which just isn't safe. I have another group of students who also would love the opportunity to sit on a chair that moves. Having some flexible areas for them to sit and move will add to the list of ways I can reward them for their great behavior. Whether it's just to make school bearable for some or celebrating others, these chairs will make an amazing impact on my kids.
