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 from the neighborhood of Westwood, in Memphis, TN. They go to a Title I school that is working hard to ensure that all students receive the same education as the most privileged children in America. Our school's mission is that our students will excel in college and in life.
My students are excited to be in school and ready to take on their kindergarten year by storm.
Many of my students have experienced some sort of trauma that causes difficulty in adjusting to the rigidity of the classroom. This causes disruptive behaviors that make it difficult to learn. By providing students with flexible seating, these disruptive behaviors can be curbed and provide a more conducive learning environment.
My Project
When I think about how I want my classroom to feel to my students, the first word that comes to mind is comfort. I want my students to feel comfortable in the space we spend the majority of our day in. A table and chair does not work for every student. I want my students to feel like the classroom is a space that fits their exact needs to be successful learners. In this comfort, I want my students to feel excitement when they enter the classroom, knowing that they can be successful.
With flexible seating, my students are able to feel a sense of independence in the classroom.
They can choose a space or seat that is most conducive to what they need to be successful, because they know themselves and what they need best. Some students do not work best in regular chairs; these students will have the option to use wobble stools. I will also have a table just for stools for my Guided Reading table so that students can get comfortable while they are reading at my table. And finally, for students who choose regular seats, they will have the option to use the resistance bands to get their wiggles out during class instruction.
