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 blessed to have 23 amazing little Kindergarteners for my first year teaching! My students are bright students who come to school eager to learn! You can feel their excitement all throughout the day!

My school receives Title I funding and is considered to be the heart and spirit of the city of Pacoima, California.

100% of the students that attend the school I teach, are students who receive free breakfast and lunch.

Many students come from low-income, multi-household families. While my students live in a low socio-economic community, they still come to school striving to reach their full potential. My students are eager to learn and reach for their dreams!

My Project

My lovely kindergarten students are energetic and amazing. However, they need more outlets for all their energy. Please help us in acquiring flexible seating options for our classroom.

Swivel chairs will help us swing into learning.

Research has shown that these types of additions to a classroom can help promote student attention and learning by incorporating sensory integration. I plan on using these swivel chairs in my reading and writing center to help motivate students when working in small groups. These chairs will allow for students to rock and bounce while being on task. Wobble cushions will provide sensory stimulation all throughout the classroom. Students can sit and wobble around while they are counting, coloring, and writing. My students have difficulty sitting in their chairs. They are always bouncing and moving their legs around. The kick bands will help them kick and move their legs while their upper body is able to continue working without distractions.

Please help us make our classroom more exciting and physically active! This classroom furniture will enhance our learning environment. My kinders would love to have our classroom more suited to their 5 year-old needs!
