My school is a Title I targeted assistance school where some of my students do not have the necessary supplies to cultivate their learning. My job is to meet the needs of all my students and with your help my diverse group of third graders can achieve to their fullest potential. My goal as their teacher is to create lifelong learners and strong members of their community. "When you move, you stimulate all the nerve cells that we use to think with, and when you stimulate those nerve cells, it gets them ready to work," Dr. John Ratey, an expert in neuropsychiatry. Kids also need to move in order to pay attention. Giving kids a chance to move while they are learning is essential in a third grade classroom. These Hokki stools will give everyone a comfortable seat while providing them the opportunity to move while sitting. The ergonomic stools allow for freedom of movement and provide support for children while also making them engage their core to stay sitting upright. Children with physical disabilities can also benefit from sitting on Hokki Stools as they work to develop better trunk control. Supplying our classroom with these resources will allow students the opportunity to move substantially more throughout the day and promote a healthy posture. While gaining a foundational understanding of the importance of their health, students will also experience the connection between the mind and the body!
