My Students

My students are faced with many challenges in and out of school. My students are so full of life and are eager to learn everyday. My students love to be actively engaged in their learning. It helps them learn each and everyday.

I work in a Title I school in North Carolina where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch everyday.

Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.

My Project

These ball chairs would be extremely supportive in my classroom by allowing students to be able to sit in these chairs and still be able to focus.

These ball chairs will help students get the most out of each lesson while also being able to get the wiggles out!

Sometimes it is challenging for students to be able to sit still or even stand and be able to participate in lessons when they need to move. These ball chairs will give students the opportunity to get the extra movement that they need while getting that learning that they need as well!
