Welcome to my First Grade Classroom! I teach at a Title I school where approximately 85% of the students at our school receive free or reduced-price lunch, and many come from single-parent, low-income households.
My classroom is very culturally diverse, and I have several students in my classroom who only speak English at school as they speak Spanish at home.
Despite the challenges that my students are faced with, they come to school very eager to learn and willing to try new things. My favorite thing about my class is how my students love, accept, and celebrate each other despite their differences!
My Project
My students are very energetic, and I am always looking for ways to incorporate movement into our daily class routine. I think providing my students with flexible seating options will increase student engagement and learning because they will be able to work where they learn best.
Zenergy chairs are a great way to incorporate movement and flexible seating options for my students.
They will allow students to move in a safe way while learning with minimal disruptions. Zenergy Chairs will also allow students to sit comfortably as they concentrate, they promote proper posture, and they help with balance. Please help me get my students moving and grooving with Zenergy Chairs.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
