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
My fifth-grade students are amazing with unlimited potential, but limited resources to fully explore their ideas. The students come from low-income homes where for some, they only interact with educational items at school. Our entire school receives free breakfast and lunch, My students have a genuine love for learning. They love to come in early and stay late to help and learn. I want to be able to nurture that love before it is lost. Every year I have the pleasure of teaching students from varying abilities, from highly gifted learners to special needs students, but they all bring the same thing to my class: the love of learning and the eagerness to do their best. Being a person with a disability myself, I want to show them that anyone can be successful regardless of their limitations. I want to fulfill my duty and give them every opportunity they deserve.
My Project
Name a student who likes to sit in a regular school chair and I will show you a students who isn't focused! They squirm and worm around, tight back or prefer to stand.
These cushions are the first step to creating a comfortable and inviting room where students will sit and work together in science and math.
I get a bunch of very antsy students every year; many who have a hard time sitting correctly or being comfortable in standard chairs. For this project, the students will be utilizing these cushions while sitting on their chairs at their desks or while working on the floor. I am hoping that these cushions will allow my students to feel comfortable and stay focused while learning.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
