My Project

Teachers are all about creating a fun and comfy space for our students to learn. That's why I'm excited about bringing bouncy bands to their desks. These bands aren't just for fun – they actually help students focus better and learn more effectively. We know that some students struggle to sit still for long periods, which can make it tough for them to pay attention in class. That's where bouncy bands come in. They are large rubber bands that attach to the legs of desks, letting students bounce or kick their feet subtly while they work. It's a great way to give students the movement they need without disrupting the class.

My goal is simple: I want to make a more engaging and accessible learning environment for all my students.

By getting bouncy bands for their desks, I hope to help them stay focused, especially those who might have ADHD or sensory challenges.

We're looking at a budget of around $440. This will cover the cost of the bouncy bands, shipping, installation, and any maintenance needed. I believe that bringing bouncy bands to our classroom is a simple yet powerful way to support our students' learning. With your help, we can create a more inclusive and engaging environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed. Thanks for considering my proposal – I can't wait to get started!
