My Project

The wiggle seats and foot fidgets will help my active students engage in learning and our daily activities. These items help students to use the extra energy that prevents them from really diving into course work and demonstrating their mastery of the content. These items will be used by students in the classroom during independent and small group learning.

My students are wonderful people who are excited about learning.

They love to share in the classroom and discuss the topics we are focusing on. My students are actively working on improving their reading and writing skills, as well as increasing their self-efficacy. My students are helpful and supportive of each other in the classroom. They are high energy and need an avenue to release their energy to continue all of their fantastic progress.
