When you walk into my classroom, you will hear lots of little voices speaking Spanish, though you might be surprised to hear that these students did not begin learning the language until a couple of years ago. I teach second and third grade Spanish Immersion and my students LOVE learning Spanish! Our classroom is very fun, loud, and innovative.
We are located in Cincinnati in one of the largest districts in Ohio.
Our community has a strong sense of pride in our schools and I am an alumni myself of the district. We work very hard day in and day out not only to master academia and the common core, but also to master a new language. I have no doubt that my students can do whatever they set their mind to, yet some additional tools in the classroom would help many of them to regain their focus.
My Project
Students will use these new Wobble Chairs daily in our classroom. We currently only have desks and chairs in the classroom, as well as a carpet that is used for whole group and small group lessons. Students will often tip their chairs forwards and backwards because they don't want to sit still, which is very dangerous, and it is easy to see the need for more movement in the classroom. We do have recess in the middle of the day, but integrating movement throughout the day while students are learning would be very beneficial.
The KORE Wobble chairs would allow students to work where they choose and move as they please.
This project would not only benefit our typical students, but also the students in my classroom with special needs. Students would not be tied to their desks and I believe the movement while working would make them more productive.
