My Students

Even though my students are from a high poverty area, they still come to school every day to get their education. I am trying to provide a fun and caring environment so the students can grow to their highest potential.

These students deserve any opportunity we can give them to make education fun and exciting!

My students are excited to learn and they deserve every opportunity to do so. We come from a Title I school so any extra love and support are greatly appreciated!

My Project

My students need various flexible seating options in our classroom. Currently, we have typical school chairs for the students to sit in. Through out the day, it is clear when they start to get uncomfortable because their focus and their work lacks. By having different seating options, it will allow the students to not only move around, but to also be comfortable while they work.

Flexible seating allows students to be comfortable while they work!

The yoga ball seats will be a great addition for our classroom because it will allow the students to improve their concentration while being comfortable at the same time!
