My Project
I love my students because even though the odds are stacked against them, they never give up. I work in the worst area code, economically, in Tennessee. My kids not only have major financial issues, they also have a lot of issues as far as ADHD and other mental/health issues. Even though most people count them out because of where they live and how they are able to learn. They inspire me more than they will ever know. I want to make their learning environment as comfortable as I can. I want to make school a place they can learn, be comfortable, and be successful because they do not get that home.
Having flexible seating will ensure my kids can learn at the best of their ability.
Sitting in a desk all day can get boring and repetitive. I believe my kids will be more focused if they are comfortable. I have requested bean bag chairs, saucer chairs, and reading pillows for all different types of seating.
Kids learn more when they are comfortable and at ease.
They can focus on their learning rather than worrying about a cold desk. In return their mind will wonder because they wouldn't be comfortable. I love my kids. I want the best for them even if the odds are stacked against them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
