Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

My Students

I am a second grade teacher to 23 motivated and enthusiastic learners. My students love to learn and become very motivated with hands-on learning. My students come from low-income homes.

My classroom is full of eager learners who find value in reading and learning.

They face daily life challenges at home, so I want to provide the best possible learning experience for them here at school! They come to school happy and ready to learn each and every day. I work to foster a love for learning and doing what is best for my students.

My Project

We are requesting nine Gaiam Kids Balance Ball chairs and six Gaiam Stay-N-Play yoga balls to help us stay active for 60 minutes a day! My students love using yoga balls. They asked for more yoga balls and chairs to stay active in our classroom. The Balance Balls will allow my students to safely sit and move at the same time. Movement in the Stay-N-Play yoga balls will improve my students' physical and emotional well-being. They will also be able to improve their posture while on the balls. This kid-inspired project will help them stay active and focus on classroom tasks and instruction. They will be active as they are learning!

This kid-inspired project will provide more seating options for students to use in the classroom!

They will be active during their work time at their desks and during independent work times, which adds up to over a few hours a day. My students asked for more seating options. These types of chairs were their top pics! They will be able to focus on instruction and stay active! Students will be more engaged in their work because they can move. These small movements will help send more oxygen and blood to their brain to help them stay focused.
