My Project

Incorporating movement in the classroom is crucial as it enhances cognitive function, improves focus, and supports overall student well-being. Physical activity has been shown to stimulate brain activity, leading to increased retention and better academic performance. Additionally, movement fosters a dynamic learning environment, catering to diverse learning styles and promoting a healthier, more engaged classroom experience.

This grant proposal aims to enhance classroom dynamics through the implementation of flexible seating arrangements and the provision of clipboards.

The initiative aims to promote movement, collaboration, and active learning, fostering an environment that accommodates diverse learning styles. The requested funds will support the purchase of adaptable furniture and necessary supplies, contributing to a more engaging and dynamic educational experience for students.
