My Students

Our Martinez students are a very special group of people. They are a mixed demographic of people that have found the sweetness of a small town and have formed a tight knit community. They come from different economic backgrounds but have found the beauty of sharing and building up all kids in our city. Our community has a jail, courthouse, and train running through the town in addition to the home of John Muir less than a mile from our school.

Our students are Hispanic, Asian, Indian, African American, and more!

Even though our town is small, it is mighty in diversity! My students love sharing who they are and giving us a glimpse of their lives. I have learned about their cultures through food, customs, celebrations, and their daily lives. I love their openness towards one another and their ability to share who they are in their community.

I find that the students in my community love school. They are excited about all of our school events and are energetic and enthusiastic about doing their part to make the world a better place.

My Project

Kindergarten students are a special group of people who's bodies are still developing balance, control, and space awareness. These special stools will allow my students to engage they muscles while doing projects that require a more static body composition. They can continue to move while practicing handwriting, math, or art. When the body is allowed the freedom to move it engages other parts of the brain and can accelerate gross/fine motor development.

The stools are lightweight and easy for my students to carry and move.

They are also safer than the chairs I currently have. My students will be able to have their feet grounded, while their bodies can move which will also improve attention span.
