Students in my school are hungry for learning and experiences. We have limited opportunity for elective options that fit the needs of our students. Our population is nearly 60 percent economically disadvantaged and many have limited access to technology outside the classroom (and even in the classroom).
Our students find joy in new experiences and being able to learn through 21st century practices.
These are a wonderful group of students who have bright futures ahead and truly have the desire to learn.
My Project
Math is a challenging enough subject on it's own for some, but it's even harder when a student has extra energy to release. Using exercise balls as flexible seating will allow students to get the wiggles out while also completing their work. Middle school students do not get the recess time that they are previously used to in elementary, so finding alternative ways to release the energy is important. For some students this is necessary to increase concentration.
With this new seating option, students will be able to make the best seating choice for their own learning.
By donating to this project, you are not only helping to provide seating options, but also providing a way for students to focus, engage, and succeed. There is so much more to academics than just the content, these new seats could finally mean a way for my students to thrive.
