FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Adams's classroom raised $405

My Students

Our classroom consists of a diverse group of learners. Most of my students come from low income families without a lot of resources and opportunities. Although they are not always intrinsically motivated, they do love competition. Competing against me, their peers, or themselves gets them excited about what they are learning,.

They have been learning that our mindset is what is most important to our success by transforming a fixed mindset into a motivation mindset.

My students are changing their ideas from "I can't solve multi-step word problems," to "I can't solve multi-step word problems YET!"

My Project

Flexible seating has so many benefits. It allows students choice and promotes collaboration. Stability stools and balance balls allow students to rock, bounce, lean, and wobble. This increase activity improves blood flow and increases oxygen in the brain. Focus is greatly improved, especially for younger students and those with ADHD.

Traditional seating, like student desks, can make students possessive and territorial over their space.

Flexible seating encourages community since students have to take turns with different seating options. Having the flexibility to easily move seating allows students to easily move into small groups or pair up with partners. Giving students more control of their learning environment improves their engagement.
