Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
This amazing group of kids is a melting pot of personality and diversity. There are students who will melt your heart when watching them work and communicate with students who have autism and support other students that struggle with academics. The students here are kind and compassionate. They are students in fifth grade who love to read and are learning to learn on their own. And other students that are very creative and funny. These students are amazing, respectful, and I could not be more proud to be their teacher!
My Project
Flexible seating gives students a choice in where they learn (CHOICE). Flexible seating allows students to choose where they work and with whom (PHYSICAL HEALTH). Children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean, or stand. The Wobble Chairs, Wobble cushions, and Exercise Balls will help keep young minds more alert and focused. (COMFORT) An uncomfortable student, is a distracted and unproductive student. Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive. (COMMUNITY) Flexible seating encourages students to share both space and supplies. And, it encourages them to take turns in different locations and with different seating options. On our previous Donors Choose project we received exercise balls. What we found is that they roll all over the place and we need a base to make them more stable to sit on.
(COLLABORATION) Flexible seating allows students to quickly and easily pair up, work in small groups, or discuss as a whole class.
Our classroom environments should be conducive to open collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. (COMMITMENT TO LEARNING) Learning environments can have a direct impact on student achievement by making the room ‘ours’ instead of ‘mine,’ the students have a sense of ownership that will make them more invested in their own education. (COMMUNICATION) A teacher must establish some new classroom management tools. That includes creating a system to make seating choice fair and non-disruptive. It also requires introducing higher-order thinking skills, like problem-solving, and emotional skills, like conflict resolution. There’s also much value in fostering turn-taking and patience, especially for a generation of kids immersed in immediate gratification. (SENSORY INPUT) is especially helpful for students with ADHD, ADD, and ASD. (FUN) Flexible seating helps make learning fun. It results, a more active minds.
