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

I am a second-grade immersion teacher in an IB school. My second graders learn mostly in Spanish while applying a global perspective to the entire curriculum. The goal of the program is for students to be able to fluently read and write in both English and Spanish while applying a global mindset to their everyday lives.

While being an amazing school and program, this school is a Title I school that has had budget cuts, but that does not keep these kids from being amazing.

I want to provide them with an amazing learning environment.

My Project

A 21st-century classroom needs to adapt to our students. I want to do this by providing flexible seating options so that they can be comfortable every day.

The table and chair bundle will provide enough room for 4 students to work comfortably and the balance ball seats will provide options for students to use during small group instruction.

Students need to be able to enjoy the space where they are 8 hours a day and what better way than to give them flexible seating options so that they do not have to sit in a hard plastic chair all while they work.
