Kid-Friendly Flexible Seating
Funded Mar 29, 2017Thank you for donating towards our class wobble chairs. My students were so excited to make our first addition towards flexible seating. When the boxes arrived they were beyond excited! They were so eager that I knew I had to set the seats up for them by the end of the day. Each student had the chance to test them out as soon as they were assembled and their faces just glowed!
These seats have led to a lot of different ways to sit around the classroom. We've used them in our small group table where we focus on specific skills that the students need to work on. These seats have made the students even more eager to come work in their small group. Since these chairs are so easy to move around, we get to use them outside of small groups as well. I had a few students that needed to wiggle around while they worked on their assignments at their desks. Though I always let them stand up while they work, this wobble chairs allow them to sit like everyone else but still get to move around while they focus. They've also been a great incentive to good behavior throughout the day :)
We are continuing to make our classroom kid friendly, flexible and comfortable as possible. My goal is to make it feel like a second home to them. I want them to feel excited to sit in our little room together to learn and grow. With support from donors from Donors Choose, we look forward to adding more to our classroom!”

Funded Nov 8, 2014Thank you so very much for funding our classroom pet project. It is truly encouraging to know that there are people that understand the importance of the life lessons I want my students to learn and that you all are willing to support my effort. The students will learn great responsibility skills by taking care of our class Guinea Pig and ensuring he is comfortable in his new home. I can't wait to share the great news with my class! They have been working so hard in class to earn their Guinea Pig and will be so excited when we are able to give him a great home, all thanks to you!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Bruce
