My Students

Our school strives to meet every child where they are, and lift them up to were they need to be and beyond! Every child has abilities, talents, and strengths to exceed and thrive. Sometimes, it just takes a little more exposure or motivation. The students in my class strive for excellence.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand. This increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused.

Help me engage students minds and keep them alert and focused.

As an adult their are time I can stand to stay in my seat for hours at a time. How is this any different for young children with high metabolisms and levels of energy. Have you ever felt this way? Have you seen it in your own children? I will be using these different items to help my students focus and do their best! You can help too!!
