My Students

One of the biggest challenges in my classroom is students not being able to sit still and focus on the assignments. They are wiggling, shaking, up and down out of the their seats all day long. By giving them a comfy seat they can wiggle away all day long in their seats and still focus on their task.

I have a classroom of 24 students, the majority are boys and are very hyperactive.

The student are very sweet and kind and unfortunately do not have the financial ability to buy a lot of items on their own for homework. Buy providing them with the Rekenrek kits and the wiggle seats, the students can sit at their own seat or on the rug and use hands-on material to find different ways to answer a variety of math problems.

My Project

My students will be be able to manipulate the beads and come up with their own method of learning. A lot of students are visual learners and are embarrassed to use their fingers to count, the beads will give them the opportunity to add and subtract at their own pace. They will learn and practice groups, partners, addition, and subtraction skills with these manipulative, all while siting in a comfy seat.

These materials will change my students lives by giving them an alternative way to learn.

It doesn't all have to be paper and pencil. They need to be able to see their mistakes and also correct them. The wiggle cushions will be an alternative to medication. Many of my students struggle with ADHA and ADD and the cushions give them a way to work out all of the extra energy that they have stored inside and don't know how to release it.
