My group of 60 amazing fifth graders are such innovative, kind, and energetic students. Recently, I've read a book entitled Spark by John Ratey. This book has inspired me to do what I can to enrich our classroom and create opportunities for action based learning in our safe environment. These flexible and active seating options would allow my students to improve their cognition and focus through the mind-body connection.
Our health and wellness is key to make learning engaging, accessible and enjoyable.My students would wildly benefit from a little "shake up" to their classroom norm!
Forming these good habits with active equipment in the general classroom can shed a light on how learning can be easier and more exciting.
My Project
The addition of these bicycle desks will add the mental stimulation and engagement in the classroom that our class could use. The mind-body connection is an amazing tool for learning that we are still discovering more about today. I would love to provide this unique addition to our classroom for the students to find that extra motivation and drive to succeed and invest in their education.
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
The opportunity for movement with these stationary bicycle desks will encourage all of my students towards a path of health and wellness in and out of the classroom!
