My Project

My students are a remarkable group of second graders who bring so much curiosity, creativity, and resilience into our classroom each day. Many of them encounter challenges outside of school, but as soon as they walk through our door, they find a safe and nurturing environment where they can explore, grow, and truly thrive.

I am seeking flexible seating options—like balance ball seats, wobble cushions, and premium floor seats—that can change our learning space for the better.

These resources would allow my students to move, wiggle, and concentrate as they engage in our Daily 5 and Daily 3 literacy and math centers. When we offer them choices in how they learn best, we not only keep them engaged but also support their ability to focus and develop self-regulation skills. This is particularly crucial in our classroom, where many children benefit from social-emotional learning to help them navigate their challenges.

My heartfelt goal is to create an inclusive and dynamic space where every child feels empowered and valued in their learning journey. These resources will be vital in meeting the unique needs of my students, whether they are mastering reading comprehension, practicing math strategies, or collaborating with their peers. The true strength of my students lies in their unwavering determination to succeed, despite the obstacles they face. Their grit and eagerness to learn inspire me every single day.

With your support, we can provide these extraordinary kids with the tools they need to not just excel academically, but to flourish emotionally as well. Your generosity will not only enhance their learning experience but will also communicate to them that they are valued and supported in their journey. Thank you for believing in their incredible potential!
