My Students

We have a fantastic group of students! Our students are energetic and enthusiastic about learning. We have lots of incentives for our students to do their very best. Our students have jobs to complete each day through our hallway economy system. Our students are showing responsibility by completing their homework each day and learning to carry the necessary items to class by using lockers for the first time. Our students show grit in all classes by doing their personal best on all assignments.

My Project

Our 5th graders are transitioning to middle school. They now have P.E. everyday, but no recess, the bouncy bands allow for movement in core classes. Right now students are only allowed to fidget or move in P.E. class, bouncy bands give the opportunity to fidget and move without distracting others.

Bouncy bands can help students focus on class material and not focus on staying still.

Students will not have to loose class time to stretch their legs they can do so with the bouncy bands.

Bouncy bands are the first step for our hall to have flexible seating. Flexible seating will allow students to choose a seat in which they are comfortable. Students take ownership of their learning by selecting seating that will allow them to be successful in class.
