Flexible Seating Cushions

My students need 4 Cushions for our floor table so that they can use flexible seating comfortably. We also need an area rug for our reading area.

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 teach in a low-income/title 1 school district, and my students face several challenges both in and out of the classroom. This year we were struck by Hurricane Harvey and although our school was not damaged, the homes of many of my students were. Despite the hardships they have faced, they are resilient and spirited learners making their way back.

They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention.

Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day.

My Project

I am in the process of setting up alternate flexible seating in my classroom. I have done the best I can with what the school was able to provide, and I have already spent money out of pocket to get what I have so far.

My goal is to make a welcoming and friendly classroom where children will have the choice of where they want to sit and get rid of traditional desks altogether.

Hopefully, by giving students these choices, they can take ownership of their learning and can all be more successful.

The wobble stools are one of the most active seating options and worth every penny although they are very expensive.

The area rug is for my reading area so kids can get comfortable there.
