My Students
My students come alive in the classroom. We use creativity, fun, and cooperative learning to encourage student engagement, an empathetic, peaceful community, and academic progress.
My students go to an inner city school in Minnesota where school funding is thin.
We have an extremely diverse community in the truest sense of the word. The students come from a large variety of backgrounds pulling from many parts of the city, which makes our community so special. My classroom consists of many students who receive services for special education, english language learners, and free or reduced lunch options.
My school is an International Peace Site and in a time when most of my students are burdened with stress or conflict we create a safe, peaceful, and fun space for them at school to be themselves and feel supported in every way. My students learn to be kind, and empathetic members of a community.
While focusing on academics is another part of our focus at my school, many students have to work harder than the average child to get to grade level standards. We instill grit and perseverance in each child to get them to their goals.
My Project
Many of my students are kinesthetic, active, young learners. It can be very hard for a 6-7 year old to sit still for long, much less concentrate on holding their body still AND focusing on a lesson. My hope is to give my students an opportunity to move to enhance their productivity and focus during their small group time (a time where individualized learning takes place).
A Kore Wobble chair allows a student to move or teeter while staying safely seated on a chair to enhance focus.
So many of my students have weak core muscles from too much TV/technology time and less time to run and play to develop muscle strength. This affects the way they move, sit, and learn. These chairs will be especially helpful for the large population of my students who have Autism or ADHD. This chair will allow my students to build muscles that will benefit them when seated at their desks or the carpet.
My hope is these chairs allow my students to focus less on keeping their bodies still for the teacher and more on the content of their individualized lesson. They deserve all that I can do to make learning easier for them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
