More Seats, Please!

Help me give my students more options for flexible seating! The two stools that were funded on my last project are so popular that we have to have them on rotation. The students want more!

My Students

I teach students in a Title I School that require intensive instruction to fill gaps in decoding and comprehension skills—skills that many of us take for granted. My students struggle with reading in various ways. For some, it is simply the mis-reading of word endings that impede their ability to understand what they read; for others, it is the difference between a short and long vowel—a skill that many of us learned by 1st grade—that affects their ability to decode 6th grade level text. My students are passionate, energetic, often frustrated students who may spend their entire day confronted with grade level text that is beyond their reach. I want my classroom to be a place where all students feel comfortable. It should be a haven for them while tackling the obstacles that impact them not only now, but in their future. Most of all, it is a place where they should learn to unlock the door to a love of reading that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

My Project

On my last project, we received flexible seating options and a calming space. The wobble seats and floor seating options are so popular that the wobble stools and chairs are on a rotation. Unfortunately, to make it fair, sometimes the students that need the wobble stools the most have to wait until another class to use them. Receiving at least two more stools will allow students to use the wobble stools more frequently. This is a great way to keep the struggling readers in my reading interventions focused and engaged. The stools redirect the loose energy of students to where it needs to go— into learning!
