Some of my more fidgety students have settled down with this flexible seating option, and I can see an increase in their productivity and the quality of the work they turn in. \r\nWith your thoughtful donations, I have already seen a change in my students.

I am able to connect it to my Vivi device and it allows me to be mobile in the classroom. I am able to project my iPad to my screen. Being mobile allows me to closely monitor and support students while modeling for the class. In lower elementary, there is a lot of teacher modeling and guided practice that happens before independent practice. This device allows the close proximity of the teacher that these students need to be successful. We are in the middle of writing personal narratives and I've loved how I can bounce around the classroom even sitting in a desk near a student who needs my support while I am still supporting the needs of all of my 2nd graders.
