My students deserve so much more! They are reaching out for help, understanding, and love. They learn in different ways and need flexibility to feel successful. They come from homes that are stricken with poverty. They are the sweetest children and they love coming to school. They are happy and just need a little love to help them grow academically. It is my hope that through Donors Choose I can bring a greater understanding of the importance of coming to school and it is my hope that creating a warm and loving classroom will help bring peace into their lives. My students often have a difficult time seeing the struggles others face because they come with so many of their own. It is my hope to create an environment that is comfortable and friendly but that will still allow them to work. Because they have so many needs, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable with their learning environment. Some of them need flexible seating to focus, others need it because they do not have a place at home that they feel secure enough in to concentrate on their work. I want my classroom to be a place that they love to come to. I am asking for funding to be able to buy active learning chairs (wobble chairs) for one of the flexible seating centers. Students who have trouble focusing and need a place to go to work and move will benefit from this kind of seating.
