My middle school students are bright, creative, and full of energy. They love and crave hands-on activities that get them moving, and also activities that allow them to sit somewhere other than their standard chairs and desks.
My goal for each child that comes into my classroom is to help them foster a love for learning, inspire a passion for health and fitness, and to demonstrate to them that the secret to a successful future comes from healthy habits developed in the present.
Our school is located in Spencer, NC, where we serve around 500 students and 99% of those students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Throughout the course of the year, the majority of those students make their way through my Healthful Living classroom. My students are limited to supplies they can purchase for the classroom on their due in part to the high poverty level.
As a health teacher, I am fortunate enough to teach and build relationships within all three grade levels at our middle school.
I am excited to begin a journey of a new school year with my students and my school.
My Project
The materials and supplies I am requesting are items that will help my students achieve an optimal learning environment. Craft supplies such as markers, crayons, colored pencils, and paint will allow students to express their creativity during health activities. Fidget devices will help accommodate students who need additional items to focus on during lessons or tasks and allow them to be more attentive learners. The floor pillows provide an alternate seating arrangement for students to have a flexible and 21st-century learning environment. Students will often request to sit somewhere other than their desks during class when working on projects, reading, or even taking notes during a lesson.
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
