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.
Our school is a small, quaint school nestled in the small city of Avondale in Arizona. We are in a suburb of Phoenix. My students have to apply to be a part of the Traditional Academy class. This class of third graders are smart, witty, sassy, and full of spunk. They like to tackle all sort of problems and they do not give up! This class is a faster paced class and the rigor is deeper at this level.
This group of kids is more like siblings than peers.
My students come from a diverse cultural background, and the majority of this group have been in the Traditional class since Kinder. Included in the mix are gifted kiddos to twice exceptional to those who above and beyond my expectations.
My Project
My students are part of the traditional academy program at our school, and all of these kids have been together in the same classroom since Kindergarten. With that said, the management is quite unique and different for them. As their teacher, I need to have alternative seating options for them to stay on task and be more productive in our classroom.
My students need choices in their learning for them to have the greatest success!
Allowing us to provide them with yoga balls, floor cushions and bean bags will give them the alternative seating they crave. Students will be able to choose from the various seating choices and select a safe and quiet spot in our room to work on the task at hand.
