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
I have a classroom full of energetic students who love learning! I work in a Title I school and 100% of my students receive free breakfast and lunch. I love teaching third grade, and students come to school each day excited to learn!
Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best.
I believe it is my responsibility to give students a comfortable, collaborative learning environment where they can learn to the best of their ability. They have limited supplies and books at home, so students are enthusiastic about receiving new supplies and materials!
"If kids come to us from strong, healthy functioning families, it makes our job easier. If they do not come to us from strong, healthy functioning families, it makes our job more important."~B.C.
My Project
Research states that there is connection between movement and a child's ability to learn! Although I have many students who are eager to learn, many 8 and 9 year old students in my class struggle with focus.
Through movement, blood flow increases to their brain, allowing students to be more productive and less fidgety.
Wobble chairs will allow students to exercise their abdominal, back and leg muscles while allowing an outlet for their boundless energy!
With this project funded, students will be able to choose to sit on wobble seats and colorful stools instead of uncomfortable, plastic seats. Students will be given a choice in where they pick to sit for the day or week. Giving student choice allows students to take ownership of their education, because they are given the opportunity to make choices in how they can best succeed.
