My Project

I am asking for help getting some flexible seating for my students. Over the years while doing guided reading at the table I noticed students like to bounce or get a little antsy. I am looking to add the yoga seats to my center table to give students a little extra space to move around but also keep them engaged while learning to read new books and strategies for learning to read. I am also looking to get seat sacks for my students to keep their desks organized. Over the years the amount of junk that ends up in desks just becomes a distraction. With seat sacks, most of their materials will be on their chair behind them so out of reach out of mind, more time to focus on what we’re doing.
