My Students
We are a small K-5 school filled with students who are wonderful to work with! They are a diverse group of students in terms of race, income, gender, and ability levels, all looking for a chance to be successful. I have students who work at high levels and love to be challenged, down to students who need that nudge.
My kids are high energy and I am always searching for ways to keep them engaged while they learn!
Many of them struggle with issues adults couldn't deal with, but still find a way to come to school and participate in the learning process.
We are a family of learners, myself included. Every day is a new day of learning, loving, and respecting each other. We are an awesome community working hard at being the best that we can be!
My Project
With a grant, I was able to purchase one standing desk, a stool, and some bean bags. They didn't want to have to fight to be the one who was able to sit, (or stand), at the standing desk or sit on a beanbag. My students wanted more. They wanted different options of where they could sit and be comfortable.
What is the best way for students to be engaged and focused , but also allow for movement?
The standing desk lets that fidgety student not only stand or sit, but also push that footrest bar to their heart's content. The balance chairs support their backs and allows for movement, and the wobble chairs let them wobble.
The flexible seating arrangement not only provides an outlet for restlessness and extra energy,it keeps them active while they are sitting. This creates an environment where the students are more productive learners.My kids don't have to sit still anymore!
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
More than half of students from low‑income households
