My Students

My students come into the school full of excitement. Before they enter the classroom, they are prompt with telling me the answer to a multiplication or division problem to get their brains ready for all the new and exciting material of the day.

I teach at a Title I school in Tempe, Arizona.

We try to provide as much support to our students as possible. Some students receive lunch bags sent home for the weekend and others are getting extra tutoring after school as well as tutoring during school. Although my students face hardships outside of school, they try their best to keep positive and be the best they can be.

My Project

As an adult, I have a hard time sitting in one spot in the same position for long periods of time. I begin to move around a lot and get antsy. I see that in myself as well as with my students. I can't expect them to seat in their seats focusing on the lesson at hand while being extremely uncomfortable. I understand this is hard to do, so I give my students the option to sit where they would like.

A lot of my students choose to seat on the floor.

The yoga mats I am requesting will provide that comfort for the students. The stools and the recliners will better improve posture as well as classroom communication, collaboration and creativity.

Providing students with the choice to be comfortable in their classroom will increase student engagement! Your generous donation to my students will benefit them greatly and help all of them reach their greatest potential in the classroom.
