Help me give my students Bouncy Bands for their desks to allow them to move while working, increase their focus, improve academic performance, and relieve anxiety and hyperactivity.
My school is a Title I school with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The mobility rate has always been high, but over the last five years it has increased dramatically. Our school is a safe haven where students are fed, clothed, and cared for above all else.
"The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher" (Elbert Hubbard).
This quote reflects my goal as a teacher, to create independent learners. Each morning, I am eagerly greeted by an amazing and diverse group of students, who come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Many of my students are struggling to cope with the multifaceted dilemmas of living in poverty.
Despite their obstacles, the one thing that I see in all their eyes is an eagerness to learn. They hang on every word I say and even beg to stay after school to do more work. My goal is to provide them with educational experiences that will sustain and promote this sense of curiosity and desire for lifelong learning.
My Project
Bouncy Bands are designed to be placed on student desks so that they have the opportunity to move quietly and stay focused. These Bouncy Bands will help my students be more successful when they are expected to sit for extended periods of time.
Bouncy Bands increase focus, improve academic performance, and relieve anxiety and hyperactivity.
Bouncy Bands stimulate the whole brain to enable active learning, improve focus, enhance creativity, and improve memory by engaging more senses in experiences. I previously bought one set to try out and the benefits were immediately evident. Your donation would provide a desk-mounted Bouncy Band for every student in my class. Please consider donating to my project and my students. Thank you for your generosity.
