With these funds I will...be able to transform my special education classroom into a learning lounge with various alternative, flexible seating options that allow my students the freedom to learn in a place that suits their individual needs! From standing desks, to exercise balls, yoga mats, and wobble chairs your contributions will give students the opportunity to focus all their energy on lesson and schoolwork, instead of how uncomfortable they are sitting in the same old-fashioned, hard chair all day! Take look at an example of what you can help create!!

With your generous contribution, you will help significantly cut down behavior issues and time spent unfocused, distracted, and unengaged. Not only will you help energize and inspire students, but you will also provide them with an opportunity to think for themselves! Even children as early as kindergarten age will be able to decide what works best for them, and choose a classroom workspace that meets their needs! Here are some of the items I would like to purchase: 

Wobble Chairs! 

Kore Patented WOBBLE Chair ($69.99 each)

Exercise Balls: 

Gaiam Backless Balance Ball Chair ($59.98 each)

Stand Up Desks: 

Innovation Adjustable Stand-Up ($209 each)

Yoga Mats and Lap desks: 

CAP Fitness Yoga Mat ($5.65 each)

CAP Fitness Yoga Mat ($10.47 each)

Think about what it feels like as an adult to be stuck in a really long meeting- sitting in the most uncomfortable position, on very uncomfortable seating. Is that where you do your best work?? At home, when you are working at the computer or on a project, do you always pick the same spot to sit? Is it always on a hard wooden chair for hours? If you're anything like me (and millions of students out there) the answer is a resounding "NO!" Please, please, please give me the opportunity to make school more comfortable, and in turn more effective, for my students next year, and all of the students to come!
