I initially had those $5 Ikea stools which after many broken ones became $5 stools from 5 and below. Although my kids loved the stools, they still were constantly tipping or wiggling in them. I knew I needed a better solution. Hokki stools - have you seen them? They are amazing. Helps the littles get the wiggles out while still being able to concentrate. I have to be honest...I concentrate better on them. They are so sturdy too! As wonderful as they are, they are also way out of my price range.
I had seen a few teaching blogs that mentioned Donors Choose but I hadn't truly looked into them. I decided this was the time. Let me tell you...you NEED to do it! It was so simple. And so fast! I was amazed at how many people want to help donate to your classroom. My projects was filled within a week! We now have 5 Hokki stools for our reading area. The kids wish they had them for their actual seats too! I will most definitely be using Donors Choose in the future. I suggest you do too!
We do not have to become broke furnishing our classrooms! :)
