My students are curious kids and always have a smile on their faces. We have a phrase that we use several times throughout the day "You always try your best." And that is exactly what we do every single day. They try so hard to have opportunities to be somebody in life. Most of them do not have the opportunity to explore and learn how far you can travel by just opening a book.
Little kids are energetic and curious.
Having the right tools to start off the school year will give them the opportunity to have a great future because they know that when we try our best, we are the best!
My Project
Today students spend more time indoors. This is the reason why my students have inspired me to create this project.
Kids needs to move around and exercise to prevent health issues such as obesity and diabetes.
These materials will benefit my students to move around and exercise while they are indoors.
The wobbly chairs will help them move around while they focus on their work. The scooter will be a great way to use indoors during winter time. The sensory steps will help my students with special needs take a break whenever they need to. The yoga cards will be a great way to use indoors during cold snowy days. My students and I will be very grateful to get these materials and help us move around while we work hard to be and give our best.
More than half of students from low‑income households
