Support Mrs. Meryhew's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
In my classroom, I noticed a need for flexible seating this year. So, I have purchased some pillows, clipboards, and made chairs out of milk crates. I just got word that our school district will no longer allow chairs that are upholstered with cloth and now am seeking alternative seating for my students who need movement to learn. The district is in desperate need due to state funding shifts and hasn’t allocated funds for furniture. The wobble seats will provide flexible seating for those students who need movement to stimulate their minds, in order to be successful and reach their goals in learning. Goals are important to my students, and they take them seriously, as they all know education is the key to getting out of poverty, and will provide them a better path in life.
