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.
My Students
I am a TK-2 special education teacher with 11 students with intellectual disabilities who participate in the moderate/severe alternative curriculum. My class is the sole special education program at our school dedicated to students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities on the alternative curriculum. My students are extremely active, and their attention spans last no longer than ten to fifteen minutes per activity. My students have many needs from basic daily life-skills (e.g. diapering) to exposure to age appropriate standards based curriculum.
My school is a Title I school that serves students who come from low-income families and all qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program.
My students need to be highly motivated by a variety of resources to capture their attention and develop their individual strengths. My students are eager learners and come to school excited for the day. They are amazing little human beings who will become important contributors to society with the appropriate support and resources.
My Project
Bean bag seating will give my students an option to sit comfortably in their reading corner. My students need a variety of options to help them stay in a particular area for a long period of time. Bean Bag seating will give my students an opportunity to choose a preferable seating option where they can relax and focus. Reading is an important activity that I would like my students to enjoy. Supplying them with bean bag seats will extend the time period they stay in their assigned reading corner. A comfortable and inviting space with calm colors will motivate them to enjoy a book or two.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
