Travel Around the Room Part 3

Help me give my students the opportunity to have exercise balls added to our flexible seating.

My Students

Traveling back and forth between schools can be challenging. I have two classrooms at two different schools. Both schools are within five minutes of each other and are both Title I schools. This opportunity allows me to work with twice the number of students. This year, I have the opportunity to work with students in person as well as virtually. While this is rewarding, it has created a variety of challenges to work towards overcoming.

My third and second graders enjoy hands-on activities, as well as getting the opportunity to be creative and explore the world.

They enjoy getting the opportunity to move around the classroom and learn in various environments.

While I can take some materials with me between schools, I need to leave other materials behind. The Covid-19 Pandemic has added additional concerns and needs within my classroom. I need additional materials to ensure that all students have their own materials.

My students deserve to have safe and clean classrooms that are fully stocked with materials for their needs. I am a new teacher and working towards getting more materials for my students.

My Project

Our classroom has been working towards building our collection of flexible seating options. One thing that is missing are exercise balls. These exercise balls will help students be able to bounce and move while they learn. Students with disabilities will greatly benefit from having the option to move without getting in trouble.

In addition, these exercise balls are seen as a reward.

Students look forward to being able to have fun seats while they complete their work. The balls are easy to move the room as needed. This is perfect for both large groups as well as small groups.
