Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are amazing, full of energy and are committed to learning. However, they are in a Title I school, and eighty-five percent of them are receiving free or reduced-cost lunch. Owing to this fact, many of my students enter school without the necessary supplies that are pertinent for them to advance their education.

My students and I would be extremely appreciative for this much-needed help that would level the playing field, and heighten my students' abilities to perform at their very best.

My Project

These Wobble Stools will be utilized in my classroom, to ensure that the students have flexible seating. This, I believe, will assist in keeping them focused, attentive, and engaged during lessons daily.

These items that I am requesting will contribute to sustaining classroom management and in perpetuating a setting conducive to learning.

In order for my students to stay on task during Whole group lessons, it has become necessary for them to have some form of stimulus. The Wobble Stools will definitely meet that need! During small group instructions, these flexible seating will help the students to be grounded and participate actively!
