I currently teach 25 diverse, curious, and energetic 4th graders. These amazing humans inspire me daily with their enthusiasm to learn. I work hard to meet their unique learning styles by creating a classroom that is safe, engaging, and fun! We love to incorporate as much music and movement as possible into our learning.
We are a Title I school where every student receives free breakfast and lunch.
Despite the challenges many of them face, they show up each day smiling and ready to work hard. The needs of my classroom may be great, but so are my students. As their teacher, I consistently work to provide them with tools and learning experiences necessary to maximize their success in my classroom and beyond!
My Project
My students need three Wobble Chairs to engage their muscles and their minds. We don't think learning has to be a sedentary activity! My classroom will give my most energetic students the opportunity for improved focus. Wobble chairs allow focus and fitness to collide as they improve postural stability and engage core and back muscles. Our bodies are made to move. For many students, being active while they work helps them to think clearly and concentrate more effectively.
This flexible seating option would be used every day in my classroom for those students that need to wiggle while they work as well as during small group instruction.
The movement Wobble Chairs would give my students would be an amazing way for them to stay active and for me to boost attention and engagement in the classroom!
