My students need a few more choices like Bilibo seats and active learning stools which research states allow them to move and use their energy in a positive way!
I have taught in the same school for my entire career. This place is my family, and I can't imagine teaching anywhere else. Many of the students I have this year are connected to previous students, and I love the relationships we have built throughout the years.
This year my students are very unique, and it has been a challenge for me to meet their needs.
I have looked for ways to incorporate more character building, self esteem enhancing, and conflict resolution than I have ever needed.
I've always had a big heart, and my emotions often are shown to my students. They know how much they mean to me, and they also know how much I want them to grow into responsible, caring adults. We've come a long way in less than 6 months, and I know they will continue to surprise me!
My Project
My classroom is a home for my students, where I want to offer them everything they need to be successful. Research has proven that when students get a choice they are using parts of their brain that allow them to use their executive function skills. These skills include their working memory, inhibitory control, and their mental flexibility. These skills teach children how to make good decisions in life.
I also strongly believe that when students are more comfortable, their ability to focus strengthens.
This is my second donor's choose project I have requested. After such success with the first, I was hoping to add a few more options for my students. The wobble chairs give students the chance to move around, yet still be sitting. The Bilibo seats help students with a way to exert their energy in a positive way. All of these items help students be the best students they can be.
Thank you for considering a donation to my project and my students!
