This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Have you ever sat at your desk or table and realized you couldn't sit still for more than a few minutes? That's what it's like for most kindergarteners all day long! These kids, unfortunately, are only given 45 minutes a week for gym and rarely get the chance to go outside for recess.

My class is a class of 25 kindergarteners with unique personalities and varying academic levels ranging from kindergarten to 2nd grade.

We are a kindergarten ICT class, 40% special education students and 60% regular education students. My students are part of a larger school community of about 700 students. Compared to other New York City Schools we are much smaller. While our small size has a lot of pros there are also many cons; one being the lack of space that our school has along with a smaller budget. While we try to use our budget wisely providing a great deal of resources for our students, we often do not have many of the things that we need to help all our students be successful.

My Project

My class needs wobble stools and cube chairs as flexible seating options. They come to school everyday with many different learning needs. Some just simple need help with sitting still and focusing.

These flexible seating options will help my kids focus, feel important, and comfortable.

I am looking to create a loving environment where my kids can focus on learning! These seats will give some of the options that research has shown to cut down on behavior and focus issues in the classroom.

I blend instruction with frequent brain breaks and use movement to stimulate their minds and bodies. However, students still need to stimulate their senses during lessons and the Kore Wobble Chairs would help with that because the chairs need to stay balanced. Integrating these sensory tools into the classroom will make a big difference in their daily learning activities.

Please consider helping my kindergarteners!
