Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

I am a special education teacher in a 4th grade inclusion classroom. My students are a lively bunch with a love of learning. Creative, inquisitive, and hard working, they deserve the best of the best.

Many of our students come from low-income households, and school is a place they feel comfortable and safe.

Our students often lose focus because they have a lot energy. They don't always have a way to manage their energy level while sitting in the classroom.

Providing several options for flexible seating in the classroom will improve learning, increase focus, and improve behavior management. We do a lot of group work and collaborative projects, and the portable lap desk seats will be perfect when groups need to meet in different spaces in the classroom.

The chairs are also very important as the chairs we currently have are falling apart. During the pandemic, all of our chairs were full of mildew when we returned, and we have not been able to order new chairs. The chairs will help with the comfort of the teacher while teaching small groups and will also be helpful for rewards for the students who can earn using a teacher chair for a day or a block of time.
