My Students

Have you ever noticed that you can think much more clearly when you exercise? Stabilizing and using muscles while learning is the perfect way to help retain information for many students.

My Kindergarten classroom is part of a hardworking neighborhood school with highly motivated students, supportive parents, and caring teachers and faculty.

Our class theme is "Super" Kinder Learners. My class is nothing short of the title. We focus on being kind, sharing, helpful, creative and hard-working learners. They are "super" kids who deserve the very best!

My Project

Kindergarten is a time to learn social behaviors, school expectations, and there are very high academic standards. My students work very hard but some need to keep moving when expected to sit down. The Hokki stools in my classroom would create movement to increase focus while stabilizing muscles throughout the body. A Hokki stole is a safe alternative to an exercise ball for young students. The Hokki stools will provide stability and focus for my wiggly learners!

When you donate to this project, you are going to make a huge impact in the quality of focus and learning in my classroom.

You will be helping students for years to come who need help with impulsive behaviors. Your donation will also help students who are having an "off" day when it comes to focus. Your donation is going to be a huge blessing to my students!
