Providing flexible and alternative seating will allow my students to choose where they feel they will learn best. This choice and movement will foster more focus on learning and decrease behavior problems. My students work best when they are comfortable. Your donation will provide my students with more seating options including wobble stools, cushions, a stability ball and sets of bouncy bands that will help them be more engaged and ready to learn. If students are given more opportunities for movement and stimulation, their focus will greatly improve. Providing flexible seating alternatives will also accommodate the different learning styles in my classroom. I'm so excited to be able to provide this opportunity for them to be happy, active and engaged learners.
