My Students

Hello! Our students are active Kindergarten students who have a love for learning to need your help. They love to move around and get their wiggles out. They are bright, energetic, and active. Coming to school and being asked to sit in a tiny wooden chair for 6 hours a day seems almost impossible. That's exactly where you can help! Having a choice of what chair to sit in can help them take charge of their learning by being able to focus.

My Project

These seat choices will help our Kindergarten students learn all day long. They will help give students a choice of where and how to sit. Having to sit in school on small wooden chairs all day long is hard work and no fun. Help make coming to Kindergarten easy, fun, enjoyable and moveable. These choices will give all of our students an opportunity to get out their wiggles all while learning to read and write. These seat choices will help our little learners refocus their energy and make our classroom a more enjoyable and fun loving place to learn.
