If fully funded, I plan to implement a full kinesthetic learning environment in my Title 1 classroom. Without this project, this environment would not be possible. Through this environment, students will learn self control, responsibility, how to collaborate with others, how to share, as well as how to take charge of their own learning by choosing spaces that work best forthem! Wobble Stools, Wobble Seats, and a carpet allow students to work in ways that are most comfortable to them.This learning environment lets students still be kids while being successful in the classroom by removing the need to wiggle and move. In a traditional setting most kids are not allowed to stand, lay down, or wiggle during assignments- in my classroom they will always be encouraged to!
