My Students

Our school is filled with curious and diverse young learners who love to learn! As media coordinator, I have the privilege of teaching and building relationships with all 800 students at our school. My students come from various backgrounds with 100% being served free breakfast and 75% being served free or reduced price lunch.

My students do not allow their challenges to deter them from exploring new ideas or learning new information.

Instead, their differences and diverse needs are embraced which has created an engaging, challenging, and welcoming learning environment within the media center.

My Project

My students need two Swivel Ball Chairs to support their diverse learning needs. One common need my K-5 students have is the ability to move throughout a lesson or the completion of work. These stools will give my students the benefit of exercise as they fidget, move, and wiggle while they work without distracting other students.

Since these stools do not have backs, they will also help to build my students’ back and core muscles while they are exercising their brains throughout the day for many years to come.

Being able to move will help students focus on their work which will ultimately increase their academic achievement. It will also promote healthy movement throughout the day.

Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to wiggle and wobble in their seats as they stretch, exercise, and grow their minds for year to come!
