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.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I feel strongly that creativity, flexibility, and collaboration are at the forefront of developing good citizens of the future! I want my students to feel that they are set up for success.
According to our 2017 State School Report Card, our communal makeup is as follows: 2.8% of the student population is classified as Caucasian, 79.6% Black, 0.2% Asian, 6.3% Hispanic, 0.5% Native American, and 10.7% classified as Two or More Races.
The caveat that exists within our community is that appropriately 100% of our students are eligible for free/reduced-price lunch.
My Project
I am creating an environment that my students will enjoy and want to be in. Flexible seating allows them to lean, bounce, rock, and stand which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow, and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keeps young minds more alert and focused. Flex seating also opens the space for collaboration among students. Teamwork allows for more creativity and classroom discussions. Flexible seating also is known to keep kids focused and engaged while improving student work and completion.
