My Students

My students are the shiniest stars! They are smart and full of life. They are energetic and love to have fun. These students are equipped and rising to be the brightest stars.

My students are creative, smart, inquisitive and motivated learners!

The future engineers and architectures, who enjoy engaging projects and challenges that allow them to explore, engineer and use their smart brains.

They come to school each day ready to learn and do their best. They are ready to take on challenges that will enhance their learning. My stars are the most studious learners. They continue to grow personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration and my reward.

My Project

Floor cushion seating allows students to all be seated at the carpet time and can still be distant from eachother. The stress ball also helps to take off some of the stress that some stars may experience during work time. My stars can use the cushions to do independent work at any location in the classroom. The cushions can act as stool for my stars to put their papers so they can be closer to the board to copy down work. I want to make sure my stars are comfortable and also the stress balls will calm nerves when they are anxious.

Comfort seating and eliminating stress are essential components in motivating stars to learn.

I believe that when stars are given the same seating creates a uniform and nurturing environment for all stars. The cushions will help to alleviate moving chairs around in the classroom. It also helps the stars to make good choice where they sit, to be engaged, and be more productive when they are sitting comfortably.

The floor cushion will be soft and more quiet which causes less disruptive to their peers when they are moving closer to the board. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options and the stress balls will also help to make more effective learning choices. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. The cushion floor seats will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.
