Support Ms. Testa's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
I have a lot of students who have either high anxiety or a lot of issues with staying focused. Students ask me if they can work on the carpet or work standing up. By changing my classroom to flexible seating I am hoping to be able to reach the needs of all my students. Having an option to sit and bounce on a ball while learning how to do math will increase my students motivation and want to to learn. Instead of thinking "I can't" they will be engaged and saying "I can" When students have a an environment that works for them they are more likely to feel cared for and their capability increases. I hope to reach all my learners through flexible seating making a difference in their learning one chair at a time.
