My Students

My students are from the City of Champions! They are overly excited about everything new and love to learn through hands-on discovery. Most of them come to school with a smile and a story to tell each morning. Throughout the day, they work hard to achieve our daily goals, both academically and behaviorally.

However, these mini champions face a lot of challenges on their pathways to success and higher learning.

Almost all of them receive free or reduced-price lunch, and we all eat breakfast in the classroom every morning to ensure each child has a healthy start to the day. They may not have the materials they need at home to complete projects and assignments, or perhaps they do not even have a home to go to when school ends for the day.

Our district has consistently lost funding at the state level over the past few years. The upcoming year will be no different with cuts having been made across the board which will affect our students in serious ways. My goal is to ensure my students have the materials and tools they need to grow into the champions they are meant to be!

My Project

At the end of last year, one of my students told me about a "super cool" seat that her brother had in his classroom. She told me they were called Hooki seats and how "he can move all day long and get strong abs without getting in trouble!" We did a quick Google search together and found what she was talking about. Hooki Stools! She was so excited about them that we had to share them with the rest of the class right away. After watching them in action on YouTube, my students declared I needed to get them for my new first graders.

Becoming ever more popular in today's classrooms, Hokki Stools are the alternative to traditional chairs for kids who are always moving.

It can be really difficult for children to sit in their seats properly even for short periods of time. It's understandable that not all children work best in a traditional chair. Hokki Stools give students an option while keeping them engaged, too!

Hokki Stools are very effective for keeping students active during the day.They allow for students to be able to move while sitting "still." The movement is subtle and allows students to be better able to focus when listening or working on assignments.

Hokki Stools will be utilized at our small group table where some of the most powerful learning occurs in the classroom. While students are actively engaged in word solving, developing mathematical sense, and writing powerful stories, they will be able to sit in a comfortable seat that gives them the choice of moving while they learn.

I am as excited as my former students for the opportunity to utilize Hokki Stools in my classroom. Providing students with safe, comfortable seating options helps to create a supportive learning environment for all.
