The students in my groups are English language learners as well as struggling readers. They are well motivated students who work hard to succeed.
Our school is a public school with a learning environment focused on the integration of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) designed to help students learn how to solve real-world problems.
It is one of 106 elementary schools in the county and serves 381 students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade. Of those students, almost 75 percent receive free or reduced lunch, 29% of students are considered as limited English proficient, and 12% are identified for special education.
My students are a wonderful group that love learning!
My Project
My students will use these wiggle cushions as their seats on the floor and on chairs throughout the day. I have seen impact these can have on a student's ability to focus on lessons and work. Many of my students use these in their regular classroom and could really benefit from using them in my room as well. When students who have a hard time focusing use these I see their time on task and focus increase. Every child needs this! These cushions will give them a chance to be more comfortable and get a few wiggles out while staying on task!
By donating to this project you will be improving my classroom by giving my students the gift of stamina.
Their stamina to stay on task will improve which in turn will lead to them being able to retain more information and grow as readers!
