My Students

The children in my classroom are from low-income status, and many are being cared for by their grandparents. Coming from a high-poverty area, they face many challenges in their young lives. A classroom is a place where they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Many of the children have not had a real school experience because of the Pandemic. Many cannot sit still and are up and about. Flexible seating would help my kindergartners tremendously! They will be able to concentrate and focus on their learning!

My Project

The inflatable ball seats allow children to move and balance-reducing restlessness and improving focus while they learn! Made with sturdy, easy-clean PVC that's lightweight enough for children to move around the class, the seats each include five legs to keep them in place right where you want them. Chairs are easy to inflate and deflate! The 17" Ball Seat is sized for students in grades K-2!

Children who have not had a good school experience and do not know how to sit still and listen will have the ability to do just that with this flexible seating.

With this addition to the classroom, the children will be able to become life-long learners!
