Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

All kids are wiggly and need different choices daily, well my students are no different. I have a group of 3rd-grade students who need change throughout the day in order to remain successful. It's a group of students with a lot of energy who need to feel like they can be successful every day in my classroom.

When my students feel that they have a choice in how to spend their day at school they are the most successful.

With a little bit of control in how their day is going to go, they feel like they can make a difference and that they can indeed be successful!

My Project

No one is able to sit in one place for an extended period of time and work successfully, well this goes for my students too. I have a group of 3rd graders who have a lot of energy and need frequent change in order to be successful in the classroom.

Giving my students the ability to choose what type of seating they will have in the classroom will aid in their success.

I believe that each child learns in a different way so why would we put them all in the same chairs at the same desks? I want to give my students choices and by being able to purchase the balance ball chairs, the wobble stools, and the bean bags I will have the ability to do so.

Why are these seats so important to my classroom? The balance ball chairs are great for students because they are focusing on using their core muscles to stabilize themselves, which for anyone with extra energy this is a great way to get rid of it! The wobble stools will help my students that have problems sitting still in a regular classroom chair. The stool will allow them to rock back and forth and side to side. Finally, the bean bag chairs will provide a new location for students to work who just need to get away from their desk. They can take a clipboard over to one of the chairs and complete their assignment.
