Flex Items to Help Get the Weebly Wobbles Out

Help me give my students a slant board, bouncyband and deskerciser that will help them get the wiggles out. The slant board will assist students with writing and the wiggle feet will help them when they are fidgety.

My Project

My students go to an inner city school and are often struggling in more ways than one. I work with exceptional students who are sometimes falling behind through no fault of their own other than not having someone willing to work with them and their exceptionalities. I've worked with several students who have a difficult time learning and working in the "traditional" sit and be quiet classroom as they require movement in order to help them focus. These students can succeed beyond any of our wildest expectations if we take the time to meet them where they need us to. These flexible seating items (slant board, desk exerciser and bouncyband) will help students focus, engage appropriately, and achieve success in learning. These students will listen, learn, and be able to teach some of us "old folk" a thing or two when we stop trying to force them to conform to our way of thinking and be willing to use theirs.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
