My Students

I teach fourth grade English, Math, Science, and Social Studies at a Title I school in Shelbyville, TN located south of Nashville, TN. My students come from many different backgrounds. We have a high ESL population. Many of our students are considered at-risk students. My students are eager learners even in the unusual time we are all faced with. My students have not let the pandemic dull their love for learning.

My Project

Currently my classroom is made up of tables, regular chairs, and a few stability balls. Not all students are comfortable sitting in a regular chair and some students have difficulty sitting still for long periods of time.

I would like to give my students more options in seating.

The wobble chairs would make a great addition to my classroom and would allow students that have difficulty sitting still more flexibility during class time helping them stay focused on their work. This will help my students continue on the path of success!!
