I welcome every student with open arms and heart, but need to offer them tools to help with their success. This year I noticed that several students lack core muscle strength. This makes sitting up straight, tall and ready to learn very difficult. The Kore Chairs will help develop important muscles. Other students are wiggly wriggly balls of energy and fall out of their chairs regularly (smile). I'd like to offer them Fitball seating discs that would allow for their energy levels, but also keep them safe. The snake wrap puppets and the sensory set will offer comfort for the anxious ones. All children deserve a chance to grow and learn. Thank you for considering helping me provide the tools my special students will need to be successful.
