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
My students are creative, compassionate and eager to learn. We are a school with a STEAM initiative with a focus on agriculture. The students work in collaborative groups on various STEAM focused projects and activities. Using the school wide design thinking process, the students develop a plan to solve hands-on activities and challenges. Through Project-based learning the students use critical thinking skills to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts being taught. The integration of the tablets and educational apps in the class would provide the students the opportunity to include more technology in the learning process.
My Project
This project is to provide flexible seating to my students. This will help my student "get the wiggles out" during instruction. A majority of my students have returned to the face to face setting in the classroom after learning from home last year. Students have a difficult time staying focused in the classroom setting and need brain breaks in order refocus and concentrate on the learning tasks.
The wobble chairs, balance balls, and sensory bands will allow students to sit comfortably.
When students start to fidget and move the flexible seating will allow them to shift and move without interrupting instruction. This will also help students to feel comfortable and be more alert during instruction.
