How can we expect kids to sit in the same uncomfortable chairs for six hours a day AND stay academically engaged? It's nearly impossible! Students' learning is maximized when they feel comfortable, relaxed, and can move around. Every child is a unique learner who excels in their own special way. Some children learn best while standing, while other children learn effectively moving around in a wobble chair. Some kids prefer sitting on chairs on the rug using a clipboard. ALL KIDS LEARN DIFFERENTLY so we need multiple seating options to meet the wide variety of learners in the classroom. Happier kids leads to higher engagement, and higher engagement allows children to succeed! By donating to this project, you will directly impact the lives of my 15 incredible third grade students and help them to reach their fullest potential. Not only will your donation help enhance the focus of my students, but you will be providing my students with the equal ability to reach their highest academic achievement! Thank you for your considering to support my classroom and to create an equitable, inclusive, and accessible environment for my students!
