it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
This year I am teaching two 6th grade math intervention classes. I adore these students and they have a great attitude for learning! Each class averages 20 students with about 5-8 students having an IEP. I noticed that my 6th graders are a little fidgety and have a hard time sitting in traditional desk chairs. I currently have 4 wobbly chairs and 2 rocking chairs, but that is not enough.
Transforming my chairs to wobbly chairs would be beneficial for my students.
Bouncybands provides quiet and simple solutions to transform a desk chair into a wobbly chair. Students will be able to bounce their feet a little on a bouncy band or wiggle in their chairs without causing a lot of distractions. In addition, having a popsocket on a few desks will provide a silent fidget tool for students to regain focus.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
