My Project

A rocking chair would serve multiple purposes within our educational setting. It would provide a cozy and calming spot for students who benefit from sensory stimulation, promoting a sense of relaxation and focus. Additionally, a rocking chair can encourage movement and active engagement, allowing students to channel their excess energy in a productive manner while remaining seated.

As the sole reading teacher for 2 3rd grade classes, a rocking chair is a necessity!

Some of my fondest memories as a child are of my grandma reading me a story while I would sit on the floor, captivated for hours. I want to give this kind of a story telling experience to my students.

It will not only provide a comfortable seating option but also serve as a tool for enhancing concentration, reducing anxiety, and fostering a sense of well-being among our learners.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I genuinely believe that a rocking chair would make a significant difference in our students' educational journey, and your contribution towards this endeavor would be deeply appreciated.
