My students need balance balls, wobble chairs, and lap trays for flexible seating to allow them to move and get out their wiggles while completing their work.

My Students
My students come from a high-poverty low-income community. They live in the poorest county of New Jersey. Some of my students' parents work 2-3 jobs to take care of the bare necessities of everyday life. While their parents want the very best for them, the extra things in life may not be able to be provided. About 75% of my students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and cannot readily afford materials to help enhance their education.
My students have faced many challenges in their young lives where school tends to be their only constant.
In our Kindergarten classroom, we like to keep things exciting. There are a lot of important skills that my kindergartners need to master before they are ready for 1st grade. They love working with each other and learning new things!
My Project
When I work, I want to be comfortable and sometimes it is not at a desk. The new furniture will provide the students with a different option besides a hard chair. Many students also have attention problems, being able to move and change seating can eliminate the behavior issues that may arise.
My students need alternate seating in the classroom to help them find a space that works best for them.
The 2 wobble chairs, 2 chairs with yoga balls, and 4 lap desks will make them more comfortable.
Again, students spend so much time in the classroom and they need to be comfortable. That may be having a chair that allows them to move, a classroom that they can collaborate, and even a spot where they can work in piece. These students are learning that a classroom is not just within the four walls of a classroom. It doesn't have to be a place that is orderly and uncomfortable. Help these students get a chance for change.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
