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.
I work in a Title I middle school in Austin, TX. All of my students are considered economically disadvantaged. They face a range of other challenges every single day. The majority of the students I work with have a variety of learning disabilities, ADHD, emotional disturbance, or have experienced trauma in their lives. My students are kind, hard-working, and amazing. They make me proud every day.
I set high expectations for my students, and I am constantly amazed by their efforts despite the many challenges they face.
My students continue to help me grow into a better educator and inspire me every day.
My Project
Everyone knows reading is so much better when you are comfortable! Hard plastic chairs are not the best place to spend time reading. My students need flexible seating options like the Urban Shop Faux Fur Saucer Chair and Chair Balls with Feet to help maximize their success in reading.
My students are a diverse group of kids who need diverse ways to access their learning.
These items will give them a choice in where they read and work. By creating choices, students will be more involved and engaged in their learning.
We already have a couch in the classroom, and the students love it! But we need more options! Only 3 students can fit on the couch to work. These new flexible seating items will give students more choices and allow more students to access the seating at the same time.
