My Students
The past few years I have been working to improve the aesthetics of my classroom. I have a visually stimulating room, but I am working to improve the seating options available to students.
Our high school has about 300 students per class, which makes it the largest school around.
We are surrounded by many smaller K-8 school that feed students to our high school. Our town is surrounded my many small farms that raise feeder cattle, and we have many clear rivers and oak forests nearby.
My Project
I currently have a couch, some cushioned artificial turf on the floor, and a few stools but most of the students still have to sit on the classic plastic chairs. I am hoping that the freedom of movement provided by the yoga balls will help students enjoy their class time as well as help them focus. I have one at home and I much prefer it to a regular chair.
I know that my students appreciate comfortable seating options in my class because they will show up early to get the "good seats." Students spend 7 hours a day sitting on hard plastic furniture, and I hope that the yoga balls in my classroom will be a welcome break.
More than half of students from low‑income households
