This project will help me create a learning environment that gives my students the option to wiggle while they work. My students all learn in different ways and I strive to provide a classroom that allows each of them to be successful. Since my students range in age from kindergarten through 6th grade and all have different needs I plan to convert my classroom from a traditional setting to a more flexible one. Giving students with special needs seating options will help them focus on their work rather than the chair they are sitting in. I'm requesting Kore Wobble Chairs, Balance Balls, Big Joe Dorm Chairs, plastic stack stools, Wobble Cushions, and Bouncy Chair Fidget Bands to let them wiggle and help them focus while they work. Each of these seating choices gives different students the opportunity to be comfortable while in their classroom. My goal is for my students to learn and be successful to the best of their ability. I believe that having seating options will allow them to do so and I know that they will greatly appreciate your help in making our classroom a flexible learning environment!
