My Project

This project will help my 73 diverse 6th graders utilize movement in a positive way, engaging their brains during work time, silent reading, and other group activities. Movement stimulates the brain and kinesthetically engages students and their thinking, allowing them to positively incorporate excess energy into academic achievement. When mobile furniture is incorporated into a classroom seating arrangement, all student learning needs are better satisfied and they can channel their physical movement into a positive academic and scholarly engagement.

Students with ADHD, Autism, and Aspergers Syndrome do very well when allowed to move while learning, and this type of seating will facilitate a growth mindset, offsetting excess energy and helping students calm their minds so learning can occur.

If this project is fully funded, I am positive my students will reap academic rewards through focus, mindfulness, and engaging their mind/body connection in a more positive way. Through repeated scaffolding, these students will learn how to control these movement urges and utilize them in a more beneficial way for their learning goals.
