My Students

"If we teach today's students as we taught yesterday's, we rob them of tomorrow." -John Dewey.

The way we teach students today has certainly changed from the years when we were students ourselves.

My students are a very energetic, lively bunch. They enjoy learning and working together. Students enjoy working in small groups and participating in hands-on activities. Our school incorporates a motto of having "Bullpup Pride", we want students to have a sense of pride with everything they do. We are a Title I school with many of our students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Many students do not have technology accessible to them at home, so we try to incorporate as many technology and learning experiences as possible.

My Project

I have a very active group of students. I love to give the option of flexible seating. We currently have several options available but I would love to have more choices.

By getting this bundle of balls, it would almost ensure that each student would have a flexible seating choice everyday.

The students are forced to learn rigorous standards and it takes a lot of instructional time. These Balance Balls will allow students to exert energy all way staying focused. I love for my students to have more options for seating than we did as kids. These Balance Balls will help me achieve that.
