I teach 7th-9th grade special needs students who have struggled with learning during the pandemic. My students rely heavily on consistent schedules and routines and when there are changes to either of these variables, my students get anxious and have a very difficult time focusing. These under desk exercise bikes will help my active learners have a way to use their energy in a positive way to help them learn better and decrease their negative behaviors. By donating to our project, my students are going to be able to focus better, complete more work and decrease negative behaviors. Studies have shown that the more active a learner is during the learning process the quicker and better students are able to complete the tasks. Students who have used the one under desk exercise bike I do currently have in the room, have shown results that are consistent with the research findings. More work is getting done with reduced negative behaviors which allows all of the students in class to have an easier environment to learn from. The exercise bikes are quiet and do not increase the noise level in the room, which allows for all students to have a quiet environment to learn in. The tube light would improve the sensory room which all students use in order to regroup when they are frustrated or anxious. The goal of this project is to allow more than one student to have the opportunity to improve their learning too! I thank you so much for taking the time to consider my project and I am hopeful that I can have more students experience the joy of increased motivation and having a quiet environment to learn. Anyway that I can limit student anxiety and increase motivation is a success!
