Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are diverse, unique and expressive in their own way! They absolutely love engaging in open learning spaces and connecting to the curriculum through real world experiences. They come to school each day willing and ready to learn and grow academically and personally. They inspire and motivate me daily. I love my Champions!

My Project

These flexible seating options will make a huge impact on student engagement. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused.

These flexible seating options will also allow my students with special needs the versatility they need when working independently and cooperatively.

These options will create an ambiance of uniqueness within our world of possibilities. We will use these materials inside of our resource classroom.
