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

As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with a creative and meaningful learning experience.

My students are creative, clever, and very spontaneous.

They like to move, they love to read, and love lots of positive attention. Many of them receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical.” From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and their growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I certainly can control their experiences during the school day. I am hoping to inspire our earliest learners to continue on a path toward academic excellence.

My Project

My project is to create more flex seating for my classroom and books to send home with students so they have access to books that they can read. My students love the flex seating I currently have, however, I do not have enough of the floor chairs, which have quickly become a classroom favorite.

My plan is to lower one table so that my students can sit on these floor chairs to work at their table.

I currently have wobble stools and stools as an option and won one floor chair. As mentioned the floor chair is the favorite. Having the floor chairs will allow more flexibility.
