Mr. Newton from Morganton NC is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Moving and Grooving to Success!!!

My students need Ergo Ergo seats, and TiltED Seats. Students are allowed to choose where they learn best and this is another choice that allows them to move in different directions for brain stimulation.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My class is made up of several different cultures and socioeconomic statuses, with the majority being below poverty. They are a very unique group of kids with huge hearts and great ambitions. We foster the attitude of class community, and each student strives to be wonderful members. Our school is surrounded by a wonderful, supportive community that strives to help out, but resources are limited because of low economic status. All of my students are engaged in their learning and eduction, and strives each day to become better than they were the day before.

My Project

Statistics show that students who stay engaged during lessons, are more likely to retain the information they heard. Allowing my students brains to remain active by having to support themselves on different seating options, will enforce cognitive support. Students overcome many distractions during a class period, and this has always made learning difficult.

It's my philosophy that students who's brain is constantly engaged, never have an opportunity to get relaxed causing their thinking to wonder.

These different seating options will no doubt enable my students to attain success.

These Ergo Ergo and TiltED seats will allow for students to enjoy sitting and learning all the great new understandings that come their way.
