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
Although many of my students face many challenges outside of school, I strive to ensure all of my students are engaged in learning. Many students try to avoid doing subjects they struggle with. The result is that they fall even further behind. One of the most commonly disliked subjects in school is reading.
When students struggle with reading or simply do not like to read they are likely to fall beind in all areas of school which affects both their education and their life.
Some children have learning disabilities and are so far behind their classmates they are unable to read materials given to the class as a whole. Others find it boring and only do it when they are forced to do it. No matter the reason for not reading, students who do not read consistently struggle with comprehension. Even students who are completely capable of reading the words can find it difficult to understand what they are reading. It is my goal to find new ways to help my children improve both their reading and comprehension skills.
My Project
Some students learn better if they are not required to sit in a standard chair. They need to be able to move around, and at times, do better standing. My project includes standing desks and stools to help them stand and sit in the back of the classroom Several of my students also enjoy sitting on the floor to work. One of the problems with them sitting on the floor to work on the computer is that it promotes bad posture. Also included in my project are "surf desks" which provide a surface for students to write and set the laptop and low tables with "picnic" style seats to sit in while they work at the short tables.
