  • Flexible Seating for Third Graders

    Funded Sep 28, 2021

    The exercise balls that were purchased for my students have made an incredible impact on my students' work in the classroom. They have been able to move their bodies while also demonstrating better focus during assignments and lessons. Having to have students separated during lessons and not being able to meet at the rug provides a deeper challenge of engagement during lessons. Having the exercise balls allows students to fidget while keeping focus on the task at hand.

    Don't take it from me though, here are some statements from my students about how they are liking having the exercise balls! "The exercise balls are amazing because when I sit in a chair it's hard and solid but when I got these exercise balls I felt comfortable and new and I thank you so much for donating money for us to feel comfortable in school, I appreciate you for doing things nice in this world I don't know how to thank you enough. Thank you so much." "The exercise balls are great because they feel good to sit on." " The exercise balls are great because when I come in and I'm tired I can stretch on the ball and when I bounce it makes me less tired. That's why they are great, thank you for getting the exercise balls for us."

    I have seen more positivity amongst my students, better testing scores, and even fewer complaints of aches and pains. Students are able to choose to use the ball or a traditional chair, out of 14 students only one consistently chooses a chair. My third graders and I are incredibly thankful for the generous donations that you made.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Woods

    Funded Nov 30, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my students. We are so fortunate to have received items from wonderful donors like you twice this school year. Especially in these trying times, it is important to get children working in a comfortable and safe environment. Your donation helps my students be successful even during hard times.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Woods

With these flexible seating options, I will be able to offer my second graders a way to safely wiggle and move while also focusing during class. Especially this year, we ask learners to sit in their space for the majority of the school day. Stationary chairs are not comfortable or accomodating to some student needs. The wiggle seat cushion that I have has greatly helped a student of mine and I would love to provide options like this to more students at a time. I believe that with flexible seating, learning in my classroom will be greatly improved.
