My Students
My class consists of 32 beautiful children who strive to be the best even though they are faced with the world. I work in Brighton Beach, New York. It is located right next to Coney Island in Brooklyn New York. People across the United States envy my students because of their "gorgeous" living environment. However many of my students come from low-income homes.
Their first homes are actually my classroom and my school.
I strive to set the bar high for they expect a home to be. A home should be inviting, safe, and a place you want to be. In order for my students to be brilliant it is my job first to create a loving and learning environment in which they want to enter everyday!
My Project
My students have a variety of disabilities in which they actually cannot sit in one place all day. Imagine going through your day and being forced to sit in the same uncomfortable cold metal chair ALL day long. Unfortunately, my students do not yet have the chance to utilize flexible seating to provide comfort and stimulation to their minds and their bodies. If my students are in a classroom all day in which they are provided comfort and choice they will develop more as learners and thus be more successful in any task given to them. If I provide my students with wobble chairs and floor seats they will be able to engage in the learning!
We need a place to sit to love learning even more!
Better yet, my students need a place where they will fall in love with learning. It does not make a difference where you are. As long as I support my students and provide them with a comfortable learning environment!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
