My Students

My students in my class are such an exciting group of students with mixed interests, abilities, and goals. They are working on Social Skills and emotional learning. They each have a high level of energy. With having to wear masks and learn to handle the sensory needs that they each have.

My students love to wiggle and having a seat to help them move and stay in one place will increase the level of learning.

When you have sensory needs that need to be handles adding a mask and then seating in a hard chair only makes learning harder. By giving them a way to seat and move has been proven many times over to increase leaning and help students focus on the task at hand.

My Project

Over the years I have seen many students that have events happen in their young life's that make it hard for them to focus. They come to school after having different starts to their day.

By giving them a way to focus I have seen the course of the day change in a remarkable ways.

From reading level increase by more then a years growth in one school year, to student being able to complete a task in less time then seating is an old hard chair.

For many years we have thought that a student must seat in a same old type of chair that we did, but time has shown us that we all learn if different ways and the tools we have make all the difference in the world.
