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.
Over the years, I have strictly taught at Title I schools. The students driving the need for Title I schools come from low-income families, including poverty, low socioeconomically status, and students who qualify for free or reduced lunches. The individual living situations and daily struggles that some of these students face are more to process than one might believe.
Students from these backgrounds often face situations at home that make it difficult, if not impossible, to strictly maintain their focus on academics and personal achievement.
These incredible students have multiple needs that come before mastering the art of figurative language or reading on-level books.
I strive to provide my students with a safe and predictable environment in hopes that I can help improve their overall physical and emotional health. My students are hard workers, they are capable of breaking the generational poverty gap, they are often starving for attention and love, they are deserving of a chance to succeed regardless of the hurdles that stand in their way, they are the future.
My Project
I want to provide my students with flexible seating options that will initiate choice, community, physical comfort, and a safe and pleasant environment. I have chosen a variety of seating options such as balance ball chairs, stools, and yoga balls to my project as I believe these options will be of high interest.
It has been proven that a student's learning environment has a direct impact on student achievement and can improve their performance during the learning process.
I have personally witnessed students change in commitment and in behavior due to making the classroom "ours," and I would love to be able to increase the seating options available in the classroom!
