Help support Mrs. Mena's Classroom

Being uncomfortable is unhealthy in numerous ways, but most importantly it does not improve attention and work ethic. As an adult, I know I can not sit at a desk all day in an expensive. I get very uncomfortable. I have no focus on my work at hand, let alone anything else. So why would we do that to students? When it’s time for me to focus and work, I grab my materials and I CHOOSE a place to work where I know I can do my best. This is what I want for me and this is what I want for my students. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. The brain research also confirms that physical activity – moving, stretching, and walking – can actually enhance the learning process. If you enter my classroom you will see I love to move, groupings and do a lot of problem-based learning. Honestly, desks are uncomfortable, difficult to organize, and not conducive to the workshop lessons incorporated into the curriculum. Chairs that wobble and bounce might help students concentrate better. Stretchy bands will allow students to move their feet and legs. The kneeling pads will allow students to sit comfortably on the floor at low tables. All of these flexible seating items give the students the opportunity to move and change positions while working quietly and do their best. Please consider donating to this project. Students are the heart and soul of my classroom. I would love to give them an environment that would unleash their full potential.
