My students need Some more flexible seating like Soft Stools, Donut cushions to sit on along with Book Bins, to put their materials when they are moving around the classroom. My students come to school with tons of stress, emotions, and negativity from their home life. I want to create a classroom that is welcoming, comfy, safe and full of warmth like a home should be. A place where they want to come and learn. It's difficult for adults to pay attention when they are uncomfortable so it's not any different for a child. With the donuts and wiggle seats, my students will feel more comfortable which will enable them to learn better. The book boxes will allow students to keep their belongings in one area as I will not be using the traditional desks. Please help make a difference in our children who don't have the opportunities to stay somewhere comfortable and safe by supporting my class project. Thank you!
