My Students
Have you ever met fourth graders? Little bundles of energy! Nothing excites them more than getting to touch, see, and build their way to understanding.
As one of the top performing charter schools in the state, our school is working daily to help our students achieve their full potential.
The students in my year-round urban charter school are 95% low income. They attend school from 8 am to 5 pm daily. The staff at our charter school works diligently within our rigorous curriculum to help education come alive!
My students struggle with issues that often fall outside the scope of understanding. From poverty to food insecurity, homelessness to incarcerated parents, they face head-on many challenges that would make adults crumble. Even with these challenges, they come to school each day trying to put their best foot forward and grow as students, in academics, and as leaders.
My Project
The wobble cushions and portable lap desks requested in this project will allow my students to work from any place in the classroom. In our classroom, we have many opportunities for flexible seating- during small groups and independent time, you can often find students stretched out on the floor, sitting on cushions, or perching on stools. Many times, my students struggle to find a place where they are both comfortable and able to complete their work. These lap desks will allow students to have an on-the-go desk wherever they are- on the floor, a stool, a chair, anywhere! Wobble cushions will allow students even greater flexibility in seating options. These two things together will help my students to make strong autonomous decisions about seating and work, and help them develop and independent, flexible learners.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
