My Students

I teach in a low-income/Title I school in Texas, where the majority of my students receive free or reduced lunch and are raised in a single-parent home or by another family member. Despite the challenges my students may face away from school, they come to me every day eager and willing to learn. I love that they are so full of energy, and the excitement for learning that they walk in with every day. I want to be able to provide my students with creative, fun, and meaningful learning experiences, that will encourage them to be inspired, ask questions, and explore the world around them.

They challenge me every day to do my best to help them be successful, and I want to be able to provide them with unique and motivating learning experiences so they will be inspired to be lifelong learners.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning, and make choices that work best for them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are sitting at their desks.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work, and less disruptive of their peers when they are given alternative seating while writing.

The product that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools will allow students to sit at the writing station with proper posture, and still allow for movement.
