As a teacher in a Title I, rural school in Oklahoma, we are faced with many challenges. Our Primary School holds 363 students total. We are a high poverty school as well as we receive many military students because of Ft. Sill. Over 53% of students receive free and reduced lunches. I have a classroom of 24 kindergartners, 11 boys and 13 girls. Our state has been faced with many challenges and that is why I'm looking to bring some new resources to our classroom to benefit the students.
My Project
My students are a very active group of learners. They need tools that will help them stay focused on their learning by providing movement. The wobble chairs will provide them movement while also strengthening their core muscles. The stability balls will give students another choice of seating while also allowing them to bounce and work their cores. The chair discs can be used in their chairs or on the floor to allow them another way to move while working in the classroom. Finally, the stools will provide another flexible seating option that they can choose to use.
Your generous donation will provide the students the ability to choose a spot in the classroom that allows them to learn the best.
All of the items in this grant are to improve student success through choice and movement. When a flower doesn't bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower. -Alexander Den Heijer
