Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 22

This flexible seating grant had a significant impact on the students learning this year. The students are motivated to come to school because the environment is so condusive to their learning style. This students loved the variety of seating options and the flexibilty to change seats when they needed a better place to learn and explore.

There was a noticable difference in the amount of time the students could stay attentive for a whole group lesson or read aloud. They were more engagedand less distracted sitting with clipboards in a beanbag than at a desk. Students felt calm and centered while learning. All students benefited not just the  ADHD students and students with anxiety.

The students and I are so grateful for all the seating the Raymond James Foundation granted us. Thank you so much for making our wish come true.  Please feel free to come visit us at Perkins and see theimpact and  excitment these chairs have brought to our school year!
