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
My students are eager, active, curious, and imaginative hands-on learners. My students are engaged daily in a rigorous, integrated academic curriculum, which includes a high emphasis on STEM learning. Students live in high poverty, metropolitan city and attend a Title I school. Our inner-city school lacks funding to access supplemental learning materials.
My students show up to class daily and work diligently to overcome the many challenges they face living in the inner city.
My students enjoy working cooperatively and display great creativity. Parents continually seek the best possible educational opportunities for their children. Additionally, I believe children benefit from experiences that include discovery, exploration, awakening curiosity, and an appreciation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
My Project
My students are highly active learners that need flexibility from the traditional seating available in my classroom. Their attention spans are quite short and their bodies are extremely active. Research has shown allowing students to fidget and move through different seating options engages students' brains in more active learning during classroom whole group, small group, and independent daily learning activities.
The Lakeshore soft seats will help students sit comfortably for prolonged periods of time than they are able to on our current classroom rug.
During whole-group activities, for example, a story read-aloud time or circle time, students will be able to pay attention for a longer period and increase their comprehension of the story while seated on these cushioned seats.
With your generous support, students' daily classroom engagement, motivation, and learning will increase dramatically by providing flexible seating.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
