The students in my classroom are very bright and engaged students who need constant support. Every day they amaze me with the amount of information that they know. All of the students in my classroom and the school receive free lunch. Not only do they get free lunch, but also breakfast, snack, and dinner.
Many of the students in my class lack parental involvement and the only education they get is at school, so unfortunately, they are below grade level even when they try so hard.
My students often ask to do more work during recess just to be able to grow. If we have any downtime they are reading or practicing their math because they know it will help them grow.
My Project
I have chosen to request yoga balls for my students to use in the classroom instead of chairs. This year I have the EC cluster of students who need more than just what typical 3rd graders need.
I believe that the ball seats will help the students stay focused so that they can take the steps to reach their goals.
Who likes to sit on a hard chair all day long without moving or fidgeting? I sure do not, so I am sure that my students would not like it or perform as well without alternative seating. Students will also have other seating options in the classroom.
