My Students

My three classes full of 4th grade students eagerly assault my classroom every day with smiles on their faces and hugs to be given, ready to see what is in store for them that day and to grow as learners. We know that if we are not growing then we are dying. They are constantly bringing me new information that they have learned, journal topics that they would like to write about, and projects that they did at home. I never hear a complaint and hear "Aww" every time I say it's time to clean up. I'm told all the time that my students will tell their parents that they are not allowed to check them out from my class because it's too much fun learning!

I work at a rural Title I school that emphasizes our community, involvement, creativity, and growth of our students!

67% of our students receive free or reduced lunches. Many students receive food backpacks on the weekend and clothes donated from parents and church groups. 15% of the students have parents who only speak Spanish. Despite these difficulties my students come in excited to learn and share their thoughts!

My Project

"Stay in your seat and do not move!" That's what students are use to hearing when they are in a classroom. When a student leans back in a chair, sits in the floor, sits on a table, lays down, or anything else unconventional they get scolded and hear a long conversation about how it's unsafe that honestly makes no sense! Newer and newer studies show that students should not stay still while they work. Studies show that students are able to access more of their mind and are more creative when they are able to move around or get in weird positions. This is why when we are thinking we shake our legs or end up laying upside down.

A 2013 report from the Institute of Medicine concluded that children who are more active “show greater attention, have faster cognitive processing speed and perform better on standardized academic tests than children who are less active.” By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student creativity and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

These wobble chairs will allow my students to move in their seats without making a lot of noise or falling out when they lean back. Allowing them to concentrate and be creative while they are in an environment where they lack the ability to move around while they work, and also prevent distraction of their fellow classmates. They are also really fun!
