My Students

My students are creative, intelligent, loud, hilarious and so much more. But these things are not why I love them. I love them because when I see them, I see my community, my children and myself. They are the game changers and leaders of the future. I love how they address each other in Swahili saying Habari Gani. I love how they meditate on top of the tables. I love how they work to be their best selves even when they are not put in the best circumstances. I love how they have so many forces working against them and they came to school ANYWAY.

My Project

These items will help meet some of my students' sensory needs by giving them an opportunity to stimulate some of their senses as they're working. A lot of my students are sensory seekers who like to move around and touch different materials as they're working. But currently, the seating arrangement I have for my students is inflexible and doesn't allow for them to get those sensory needs met. These chairs will help my students meet their sensory needs while getting their work done simultaneously. (Their ELA, science, social studies and math work which I'll be teaching)

Theses chairs will also give my fifth graders an opportunity to engage in some meta-cognitive work and conversations about how they learn best.
