Congratulations to Ms. W from Miller Elementary School in San Diego! You are the Big Box Storage Teacher of the Month! We know it’s no easy task to keep young, energetic minds focused, but you’ve found a way to unlock the learning potential in your special students. We’re your biggest fans and are thrilled to support your goal of getting wiggle chairs for your classroom!
From Ms. W:
“My students need wiggle chairs to help with their energy levels and focus.
My Students
This project will support 11 military special needs students, all between 5 and 8 years old, who have lots of energy and wiggles. Our classroom is specifically for moderate to severe special needs children, and all of my students come from military families. Many of them are not only navigating their disabilities but also coping with the anxiety and emotions that come with having a parent deployed.
In class, these wiggle chairs have shown to be incredibly effective at calming their behavior and emotions, helping them feel more grounded while their loved ones are away.
My Project
My students face challenges like ADHD, ADD, and other disabilities that make focusing on learning difficult. Wiggle chairs give them the movement they need to calm their bodies and emotions, allowing them to better concentrate and absorb what’s being taught. These chairs are essential for our special needs students, helping them move in ways that allow them to access the modified curriculum they need.”
We are so proud of everything you’ve accomplished with your students and are excited to donate funds for your wiggle chairs! We can’t wait to see your students in action once the chairs arrive. If you’d like, we’d love for you to share photos of your students enjoying their new chairs, so we can feature them on our social media and help even more people become your fans!
