My Students
My students are kind, funny, amazing young people who have the potential to learn and grow up successfully but lack the means necessary. They are hardworking and determined and just want to learn about the world they live in. Most of my students come from a high poverty neighborhood in the projects of NYC and receive free or reduced-price breakfast, lunch, and after school snacks. A lot of my students are English language learners who have moved to NYC from different countries where English is rarely spoken at home.
The children in my class inspire me to not only be a better teacher but to be a better person every day.
Some of my students come from single parent households, live with many family members in small living conditions or live in a completely different state than their parents with a grandparent/grandparents or an alternative guardian. Overall, my students deal with hardships that no child should have to go through. They cannot afford the everyday materials that they need to be successful.
My Project
Have you ever felt the need to wiggle? Giggle? Just a little? Well, some of my students feel the need to wiggle more than just a little. When students are unable to release built up energy, it is extremely hard for them to concentrate and learn. Students who are constantly on the move tend to rock back and forth in their chairs, climb onto tables unintentionally, kick the legs of the chairs or tables, and overall distract themselves, other students, and even their teachers unknowingly. These students cannot control themselves, and I would like to help them calm their bodies.
These wobble chairs will help the students who always have the urge to move around stay focused and engaged while staying active.
These chairs increase the blood flow to the brain, therefore decreasing the urge to move around and increasing the ability to focus. Keeping my students active while seated will help them learn better, stay focused and engaged, and have FUN while learning!
More than half of students from low‑income households
