Recently, I started at a new school. Immediately it was obvious what an incredible group of third graders I have. They are energized, positive, and extremely dedicated to their studies.
As an experienced teacher working in a new school system, it is so refreshing to have young minds so eager to learn.
My school is a Title I targeted assistance school where some of my students do not have the necessary supplies to cultivate their learning. My job is to meet the needs of all my students and with your help my diverse group of third graders can achieve to their fullest potential. My goal as their teacher is to create lifelong learners and great examples to their community.
My Project
In order for kids to learn, they need to be able to pay attention. In order to pay attention, we need to let them move." - Angela Hanscom. This quote summarizes my feelings about giving kids a chance to move while they are learn. These Hokki stools will give everyone a comfortable seat while providing them the opportunity to move while sitting. The ergonomic stools allow for freedom of movement and provide support for children while also making them engage their core to stay sitting upright. Children with physical disabilities can also benefit from sitting on Hokki Stools as they work to develop better trunk control.
I believe that the bouncy bands and Hokki Stools are just the thing for energetic third graders to learn while moving and moving while learning.
Supplying our classroom with these resources will allow students the opportunity to move substantially more throughout the day and promote a healthy posture. While gaining a foundational understanding of the importance of their health, students will also experience the connection between the mind and the body!
