My Students

My students are full of tenacity and eager to learn. My classroom is family. I love each and everyone of them as if they were my own.

Over 90% of my students come from lower income house holds, yet they still come each day to give 100% to their academics.

My students are from diverse ethnicity and cultural backgrounds.

My Project

"Wiggle worms and unable to focus" are just a few adjectives that can describe my 8th graders. My students need to be able to move freely while not having to worry that it'll be a distraction to their peers. In this time of Covid and social distancing finding ways to have flexible seating can be challenging. The inability to allow my students to move around the classroom has magnified their restlessness.

Movement improves learning, decreases anxiety, and reduces stress: The Teen Active Chairs, No Roll Balance Ball, Bouncy Bands for School Chairs, Gymnic Disc 'o' Sit Jr Air Cushion, and Carpet Circles will give my students the opportunity to move freely within their social distance confides with out distraction and keeping them focused.

Having all of these seating options will be worth every wiggle free movement!
