Optimizing Focus Through Flexible Seating Options

Funded Jan 23, 2025

When the boxes were delivered the students were filled with excitement to see what was inside each box. Everything in VPK is a pretty big deal, so we had a grand unveiling and introduced the new individualized desks to the students. I showed them how awesome they were and explained that now that they will have their own space, and they will be able to get so many more points in their games to get ready for kindergarten, and they have!!

These desks were specifically purchased for computer use, to give each child some privacy while they work, while maintaining correct posture, wrist mobility, and flexible seating. My goal is to always make learning enjoyable, and the students have really embraced the new lap desks because now they are more comfortable in their work environment. Usage rates have increased from 80% to 98% since implemented and children are starting to get "new games" meaning they are completing previous tasks in the time allotted.

This has been such a great addition to our classroom, and I intent to use it in other ways as well. Students can begin using them when working on individualized work during free choice, such as puzzles, art, writing, and math to stay on task and remain focused. I am so appreciative of all your support and very grateful for your donations!!”

With gratitude,
