My Students

My students are self motivated thinkers and innovators with diverse needs who are making a difference in the world. They are inclusive and work together as a team to achieve both personal and group goals. They utilize each other's strengths while working to improve each other's weaknesses. My students celebrate the good and the not so good. They are optimists. They are problem solvers. They are talented risk takers. They are leaders. My students make us a true community of learners.

My students are active learners who need the ability to be able to move around the classroom and fidget safely while learning.

My Project

All of us remember our childhood classrooms where we were told to sit still and focus on our work. For many students, sitting still is the problem, and a major reason why work is not getting done.

My students need to be able to move safely while working in the classroom; these active learning stools will add to the flexible seating in my classroom, and help give my students seating and workstation options.

These active learning stools will not only allow my students to move around safely while learning, but they will help my students to build strong core muscles, which is an overall health benefit for them as well! Research shows that sitting in an office all day isn't good for adults, why would it be any different for children?
