Research supports that students need frequent access to movement in order to learn best. My class full of second graders is no exception. With high at academic standards and lots of challenges including a heavy population of non-English speakers, students who are economically disadvantaged and students with disabilities this is even more important. Giving students the tools to allow their busy bodies to move throughout the day helps their brains be ready to learn. In my classroom students are able to move about and take breaks as necessary. The materials requested in this project will enhance their break to help them get back on track faster. Can you imagine sitting in a hard seat for eight hours a day? This project will allow students alternative seating choices as well as break time options. Please help us keep our bodies busy so our brains are on track, so that we can maximize learning!
