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
We are an urban elementary school that services students from various economic backgrounds. Many of our students rely on the school to provide a healthy breakfast and lunch for them. We strive to make school a safe place in our students lives. Many of our students do not have a stable home or family and depend on our stability at school. Our students come to school eager to learn and always put forth their best effort, despite their home life.
My Project
Many of my students have a hard time sitting still for very long in the classroom setting and need a little help in keeping them engaged and focused. By having flexible seating, such as balance balls, stability ball chairs, and stools, it not only will keep them focused better, but more excited about coming to class each day because they will be allowed to CHOOSE in what type a seat they will get to learn in for the day! This gives the students a sense of control on how they will learn each day and will keep the students focused in all types of learning activities throughout the day.
