My Students

My students come from one of the most dangerous cities in the nation, but they do not let that define them. It is the school mission that all students are provided access to a quality public education. My students come to school each day eager to learn. The materials and supplies for my class are on me to supply. I want to make sure my students are able to receive everything they need while at school with me to make them succeed.

My Project

My project will meet the need of some of my students who have a hard time focusing and concentrating in class. The Gaiam Balance Ball Chairs will allow my students to sit and actively engage in class by having stability while sitting on the balls. I have students in my class that have certain needs that need to be met in the classroom in order to learn. The materials will allow me to help meet the needs of these students. I do not always get the provided materials the students need. It is on me to provide these materials to meet​ the needs of my students.

I would also like passes that will not get wet and break over time.
