My Project

I am asking for donations to provide my students with flexible seating options. My students are primarily Kindergarten and 1st grade students. They have many unique needs, including the need for movement.

Flexible seating would allow my students the opportunity to sit and learn in a way that is comfortable and regulating to them.

These choices in seating may help them stay focused for longer periods of time which would allow for more learning.

I am also asking for a rug. Circle Time is a huge part of our day. We do Circle Time every morning. During this time we say hello, check in on our feelings, and share the plan for the day. It is a highlight of our day. Having a carpet would make this time more comfortable and would give my students a defined space to sit.

I thank you for considering funding my project! It is truly appreciated.
