My Project

As a dedicated special education teacher, I constantly strive to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment tailored to the unique needs of my students. To enhance their educational experience, I am seeking funding for two wiggle seats and two standing desks.

These tools are essential for fostering an engaging and adaptable classroom that accommodates the diverse sensory and mobility needs of my students.

Wiggle seats provide a crucial outlet for students who require movement to maintain focus and concentration. These seats enable them to fidget in a controlled manner, which can significantly improve their ability to stay attentive during lessons. Similarly, standing desks offer an alternative to traditional seating, allowing students to stand and move freely while working. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for students with attention difficulties or those who experience discomfort sitting for extended periods. By incorporating these flexible seating options, we can create a more dynamic and supportive learning environment that promotes better engagement, comfort, and overall academic success for our special education students. Your support in providing these resources will make a profound difference in their educational journey.
