My Project

Kids don't sit still! Our classroom needs more comfortable places to learn. We would like a wobble stool that will keep my first graders upright as they wiggle and fidget while sitting. It will be placed at one of our tables and rotated weekly, along with our other alternative seating, so that all of the students may have a chance to use it. We are tired of sitting still all day. This alternative seating will allow us to wobble, rock, and fidget as we complete our work.

Mother's Day is approaching and we are requesting two art projects that will help us celebrate our mothers.

We are requesting a flower pot craft kit. These pots include paper inserts for the students to decorate. We are also requesting a Mother's Day poster where students write what they love about their mothers.
