Help me give my students the seating they crave to help them focus! The exercise balls would allow me to transform my space to fit the needs of my energetic students.
This is my first year teaching and I am beyond excited. My students are a fun-loving, excitable group of 3rd graders. My students are 8-9 years old and full of energy. This is an age where the students are full of personality and crave movement. Whether that be rocking or dancing, they can't wait for a chance to move.
My students are caring, compassionate young people, but sometimes they need an outlet to help them focus.
I love getting to hear their thoughtful insights as they help our conversations flourish. The more the students are with me, the deeper the conversation we can have. If the students have the freedom to move, I can only imagine the conversations we can have!
My Project
These materials will help my students maintain their wiggles. My students love to move around the room and find new seats. They love sitting against the walls and on the floor. By donating to this project, you are helping my students find their best fit space.
Children's movement comes in all shapes and sizes, so choosing which kind of movement they can have during the day lets us have deeper discussions instead of focusing on controlling our bodies.
I do not mind if my students wiggle during the day. Some students need that wiggle in order to get through a lesson. By letting my students have one thing to help maintain their focus, I can let the other students focus as well.
