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 second grade classroom will be filled with 24 amazing, energetic second graders that are excited to learn and grow. My school is Title I and made up of a high Hispanic population. These kids are extremely loving and only want to do their best to be successful. I am fortunate enough to not only work with some of the happiest students but families as well.
I believe that all my students can be successful.
We are life long learners. I want my students to be apart of a safe, fun, and comfortable learning environment where they can strive to be the best.
My Project
Hello! My name is Makenzie Colton and I am super excited to start my first year of teaching at WHE in second grade. I will have around 24 kiddos that will fill up my classroom and keep me company all year long. One of the components that I would like to have in my classroom is flexible seating. Flexible seating gives students the opportunity to learn and practice their skills in the most comfortable way. Coming from a person that has ADHD, I was the student that always needed to stand up while working and even wiggle back and forth in my chair. I have a habit of swinging my legs in my chair or even tapping. This is just my “learning zone”.
I want to be able to help my students that fidget as well, I would also like to create a classroom with flexible seating options to give my students that opportunity to find their learning zone where they can do their best work.
I would really appreciate any donations towards my classroom for flexible seating. I want to say thank you in advance for supporting me on my journey.I have chosen a variety of materials that will be used for flexible seating in my classroom. The more variety I have to offer my students the more students are engaged in learning. My goal is to reach all needs of my students through providing a comfortable learning environment.
