Havencroft Elementary
Amount Requested: 
$892.00
Deadline:

My Students: 
My class has 18 smart, hardworking, kind, curious & wiggly Kindergartners. My students love to learn but sometimes our current classroom set up can make that challenging. Our chairs don’t offer the sensory input or the opportunity to move that they truly need. I want to create an environment that is developmentally appropriate for all students.
My Project: 
I am excited about giving my students choices regarding their seating. We all have preferences about our working environment & Kindergartners are no different. In order for these little ones to learn & remain engaged, their bodies need to be moving-constantly! These seats will allow them to do just that-wiggle while they work! As a result, students will be able to stay more focused, on-task and engaged in their learning.
My Students Need: 
My students need seating that allows them to wiggle, move & have their sensory needs met in order for them to be fully be engaged, on-task and do their best learning.
