My Students

Residing in a low-income community, my students are faced with challenges daily in and out of the classroom. My students are part of a Title 1 school community in which 90% of students receive free or reduced lunch.

My students are creative and active learners residing in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Despite the challenges my students may face, I am determined to ensure that all students have what they need in order to be successful in and out of the classroom setting.

My Project

By donating to this project, you will enable my students to actively participate in the general education classroom setting. Many of my students struggle to remain seated and often need to move around. By providing these adaptive seating options, my students will have a chance to incorporate their movement within their learning without causing disruptions and distractions.

These sensory supports will assist all students throughout the school day.

The kick bands will allow students with an appropriate means of sensory input and allow them to focus better while at their desks. The wobble pads will allow students the freedom to move around the classroom. In addition, our school has recently learned we soon be integrating 1:1 technology. These portable work desks will be perfect for students to utilize during small group and independent technology workstations.
