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 bright and energetic kindergarten students. They come to school each day ready to learn. Most of my students come to me with limited or no English skills.
My students are immigrants from other countries and are limited in the English language.
Their parents have brought them to America to make a better life for their families. My students work hard to learn English while also learning reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. They come to school with a passion to learn. I do my best every day to keep this fire for learning burning bright.
My Project
My students are sitting in desks and chairs all day, and many are struggling to stay focused. By having alternative seating in the classroom students are free to make a choice of which seating arrangement is best for their learning. I want to provide them with a variety of seating choices so they have an option to choose what works best for them as an individual student. By giving them a choice I am helping them begin to learn how to make appropriate choices to make them more successful in the classroom. This also helps reduce the number of behavior problems that can happen in the classroom. My students need a variety of seating options including a beanbag seat, reading pillow, and five comfy cushions. I can't wait to see their growth as students and individuals!
My students will love being able to choose seating options as they work independently in our classroom.
Through research, I have seen fantastic results from classrooms with open seating options for their students. I know my students would benefit as well, and I can't wait to see their excitement, as well as engagement, increase with our new seating options.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
