My Project

On this new adventure at my school, I will be a K-2 interventionist, supporting students who need extra academic support. A kidney table provides a place to teach within close-proximity to my students, allowing me to be hands-on throughout the learning process.

Wobble stools provide a bit of movement, keeping students active and engaged in their learning.

Movement chairs improve blood flow, give sensory input, and allow students to burn off excess energy! Active sitting equals active participation! I want all of my students to be active learners while we soar to new heights this school year!
