My Students

Each day I have an amazing opportunity to grow, laugh, explore, and experience new learning concepts with 25 bright and full of life eight and nine-year-olds.

My students are part of a learning community that focuses on leadership skills and deeper learning in the core subjects.

They work each day sharing ideas, collaborating as a team, and building on knowledge through hands-on experiences. The students in my classroom are always eager to ask questions and learn from their mistakes through the learning process.

This year we are working on building a classroom community where students feel safe and encouraged to share their ideas. This project will help me give my students a voice and increase their engagement. I hope to purchase items to personalize learning and improve the effectiveness of my instruction.

My Project

For this project, I am asking for a few items to increase student movement and engagement. My students and I spend most of our time in our classroom, and because of this, I am continually trying to make our class a home away from home. A place where students feel comfortable, safe, fun, and a place where they can move around and make this space work for their individual learning style.

Students who feel safe, welcomed, heard, and engaged are more likely to grow, learn, and find success in school.

I chose items to help me be more efficient and organized, help students have more flexible seating options, and items to make learning more fun and engaging. The Qball will help students enhance their voice during class discussions. Bouncy bands, wobble seats, cushion chairs, and surf desks will allow more movement inside the classroom.

I plan to use these items to increase movement and engagement while students are working daily in groups, with partners, as a class, and independently. This project, if funded, will help my students this year and the students to come.
