Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Next September, I will have 20 eager third graders in my classroom. Our school is located in an urban setting and is comprised of approximately 65% second language leaners of English. Most students who are learning English are from El Salvador, Colombia, and Peru. 99% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Despite challenges of poverty and language, my third graders are eager learners.

This project will help them become more proficient students who are ready to provide for their future.

My Project

It's hard to sit still all day whether you are a student or an adult! It is especially difficult for students that have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), sensory issues, or just need to move. Their need to move often gets them into trouble. But, with these new stools, the students are encouraged to move in a positive way.

Kore Kid stools encourage specific and repetitive movement that increases concentration.

With increased concentration, students can focus more and do better on their schoolwork. This new philosophy of seating aids students for who they are; not who we say they should be. These seats will make a huge impact in our classroom community.
