My Project

I work at a K-8 school located on the Upper East Side. My second graders are the most amazing, passionate, curious thinkers, builders, and explorers. They are learning and growing every day. They enjoy coming to school, love all subjects, and have a desire to learn. They motivate me and enrich my passion for teaching. In an effort to close the achievement gap, I would like to provide my students with the resources to enhance learning opportunities.

These chairs will provide alternative seating for the "wiggly bodies" in the classroom.

These chairs will allow students to move if needed and not forced to sit in one position for a long period of time. It also can provide students an opportunity to move without distracting others.

A classroom environment where everyone gets what they need is important.Providing movement during lessons/independent work for students who need it is beneficial for EVERYONE (the teacher, student who needs the movement, and classmates). Just think, a simple chair can foster an environment with fewer distractions/disruptions, more engagement, and comfort for all.
