I am a first year teacher with a very, very active group of 4th grade students. These students need an outlet for their excess energy while they complete assignments. I was very skeptical about flexible seating at first, but after seeing flexible seating run smoothly and successfully in a teacher friend’s classroom, I see how it would benefit my students and have many ideas to implement it. My students need to be able to wiggle while they work! With your generous donation towards these flexible seating items, my active class can wiggle around while getting work done in nontraditional seating! At this point in time where so many children sit for hours and hours every day, my desire is to encourage them to be more productive by letting them have more freedom in choosing their workspace! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
