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.
I have 40 very diverse students that come into my classroom every day. They come from predominantly low-income homes and have a wide range of learning abilities. 95% of my school population receives free or reduced lunch. Half of my students are English language learners.
I have students who come to school with more on their plate than most children should, and this takes their focus away from their education.
They struggle to make school a priority, through no fault of their own. Most of my students have little to no access to books, technology, or educational materials outside of my classroom.
My Project
The goal of my project is to provide my students with a variety of places they can sit so they can be successful in their own way. I have students with a range of disabilities and many of them struggle to be successful when they are sitting in a desk every day to read and write.
I want to provide my students the choice of sitting in a way that will make them comfortable and successful.
When they are given options, they are more likely to be productive and truly take ownership of their independent work.
While our school was left untouched, our community was hit by Hurricane Harvey last year, forcing my students to miss more than a week of school. Some of my students were temporarily displaced, while others had family that were forced to move in with them.
