My Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to make my classroom welcoming and a safe and exciting place to learn. I teach at a Title 1 school in North Carolina where one hundred percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. My students need flexible seating to maximize their learning potential, yoga balls will set them up for success.

My Project

I teach third grade for a very lively and amazing group of students at a very diverse low income school. My students are very creative, spontaneous, and always moving around. In general, people don't sit still so why do we expect children to in the classroom. Seating choices such as stability balls will help channel their physical energy in a positive way, allowing them to focus on their work and reach their full potential as learners. Students have different learning styles in my classroom. While learning styles are different so are the needs individuals have during instruction. Some stand, some lay, some like to sit on the floor, and some children need to be always on the move or bouncy so yoga balls would be an option for these children who always like to feel like they are moving or are very active.

In order to meet these needs of my learners I would like to offer the best learning environment for all my students by providing flexible seating.

This seating will help all of my students read their goals throughout the school year. I hope you consider donating to my project for help so my students will achieve their economic goals.
