Bouncing Into New Ideas

Help me give my students new supplies and flexible seating to use in our daily classroom life. We love writing our thoughts before sharing out in our collaborative environment.

My Project

We use a variety of flexible seating choices in our classroom. Students love when I say the words , “You may work around the room!” We have wiggly seats, wiggle cushions, comfy floor seats, carpets, stuffies, and places to stand. However, adding something to bounce on is our next goal.

I am a teacher who looks for a way to reach every student by getting creative in the modes I use to share ideas.

So, we are running low on expo markers and pencils because I give my students a chance to write their answers before sharing ideas with a partner. I like to let my students use a variety of media to make learning more engaging, but our markers aren’t lasting long enough this year.

New white boards would be amazing for my students. The old ones are written on and not erasing well. My kids would do love something fresh to use. And, cute erasers just make it all the more fun!

My students are AMAZING this year. Help me give them some new, fun supplies to ring in the new calendar year!!
