Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

I teach at an inner city, low-income school in Indianapolis. 100% of the students at my school receive free lunch. My classroom of twenty-eight fourth graders come to school with differing needs and backgrounds; but all willing and ready to learn and grow.

Although most of my students come to school without daily necessities, I believe it is my duty to provide them with a safe and comfortable environment where they can do their best each and every day.

My students are tremendously hard-working and strive to grow, create, and learn!

My Project

My students love to MOVE and WIGGLE. Unfortunately, jittery and moving children cause a distraction to the learning that happens inside my classroom!

My students need flexible seating to be able to appropriately move around, while keeping their brains engaged and stimulated.

These stability balls will not only help my students that need a little extra space, it will also help keep my active students engaged in learning all day long.

I have two stability balls already and they have worked amazingly. Now, I am asking for enough to give EACH student in my class the ability to utilize the stability balls in their everyday classroom use.
