I teach in a rural, public elementary school with 400 students, grades PreK-6. Many students choose to participate in sports, Destination Imagination, music, and band. We keep our class sizes small, with 16-20 students in each classroom in grades preK-3. In this way, we can offer as much personal attention to each child’s needs as possible.
My students are sweet and full of potential, but the poverty level is high, with a 50% free or reduced-price lunch population.
Nonetheless, my school tries very hard to afford all students the same opportunities, no matter what social or economic situation may exist in their lives. All students are offered free breakfast, and we have a peer mentoring program run by our high school students that attends to the primary students' social-emotional needs and offers free supper as well.
Personally, I take time to get to know each child in my classroom as a whole person. My goal throughout the year is to understand their academic strengths and weaknesses, as well as their character strengths and weaknesses. I love being their friend, teacher, and hopefully a role model.
My Project
My students have a ton of energy and I like to give them options to help them sit and learn during the day. We get up and move quite often, but we still need to sit at times. I am lucky to have some wobble chair and bean bag chair options, but I would like to offer something with more of a bounce.
To help my students sit in a comfortable way that allows movement, I would like to offer donut chairs as and option to sitting in regular chairs.
I think this option will help my most active students wiggle while they concentrate on their work!
