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 fifth graders are excited individuals who are eager to learn! Being so excited to learn, however, makes it hard to succeed when you're stuck at one desk with a hard and uncomfortable chair. It is hard for adults to sit that long while not being comfortable, so imagine 28- ten year old 5th graders who are being asked to sit for several hours at a time! It's rough.
My extremely active 5th graders deserve a classroom environment that will be able to meet the needs of their incredibly different learning styles and physical needs.
I want to be able to provide a flexible learning environment so ALL students will be able to maximize their education. Having a comfortable and flexible seat may be all a student needs in order to thrive.
My Project
Flexible seating options will allow my students to make the choice of how they will maximize their learning experience. Giving students the choice of where they can sit makes them feel more comfortable and are more apt to fully engage in the lesson being provided, especially my students who struggle with ADHD. My school does not have the funding to provide seating that students need to succeed.
My students are noticeably more engaged when they get the option to sit where they choose.
Providing wobbly chairs, comfy floor seats, and lap desks to my students will allow them to move and choose what best fits their learning environment.
These supplies will greatly benefit my students by allowing them to make choices and be responsible as they are transitioning into middle school. Creating the best learning environment for my students is my number 1 goal.
