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 in a Title I school, located in Los Angeles County where most of our students come from low-income households. Ninety-three percent of the students receive free lunch. My students are not only diverse in their cultural backgrounds but also in their learning styles.
My class is an Autism Special Education class.
My students are in the 3rd and 4th grade. Of my students, 90% are English Learners and receive services such as speech, occupational therapy, and social-emotional therapy. My students are awesome! They are eager to learn.
My Project
Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
The products I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The stools will allow my students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed!
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help them grow even more!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
