Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 15

The flexible seating I was able to purchase through this grant has impacted my classroom and student learning in such a positive way.

Among my students, there are many of hyperactive students, so giving them the option to wiggle while they learn allows them to have better focus on the subject we are learning.

Not only does it allow them focus on their material, but flexible seating is also a great privilege to earn in my classroom and really helps with behavior management.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Give the students the option to pick their own seats so they can sit where they can learn and focus best!

What will be done with my students

When the students enter the classroom they will have the option to pick their own seat! This could be a seat on the floor with a cushion, a wobble stool, or even a regular seat with a fidget band. The students will find the perfect seat for them where they can fully apply themselves!

Benefits to my students

Each student learns in different ways. My students are seven and eight years old. When it is time to sit at their seats they get a little wiggly at times. When introducing the exercise balls the students are able to wiggle and bounce all they want while still working hard at their desk. Some students might not want to wiggle and bounce so they can choose to sit on a stool. This is just another fun and different way to sit. When the students are able to move and pick their seating they can focus more and accomplish more!

Budget Narrative

I would order these on Amazon. The first one is a pack of 12 Solace Kickbands for $32.
Next, I would order 3 separate Trideer Inflated Wobble Cushion for $20 a piece.
Finally, I would order 2 Gaiam Kids Wobble Stool Desk Chairs for $60 per stool.
