Help me give my students flexible seating options that will help students who struggle with wiggles and focus issues by providing bouncy bands for desks and chairs as well as Hokki Stools.
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
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students come from diverse situations. Some families are migrant farmers in the area and many students speak English as their second language. We are a Title I school with many students on our free and reduced price lunch program. My students are faced with challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite these challenges, I strive to keep learning fun, creative, meaningful, engaging, and highly motivating.
Our school district is run on the motto "Growing and Learning Together." I work hard at bringing my classroom into the 21st Century so that students will be prepared to grow and learn for their best possible future.
In addition to homelessness and poverty, many of my students have learning challenges. I teach general education, learning handicapped, autistic, RSP, students with ADHD, and GATE students. I want my classroom to be flexible and have the needed resources for personalized learning.
My Project
Flexible seating facilitates student-centered, collaborative learning, fosters a positive classroom community, and promotes healthy, kinesthetic learning for all learners.
By empowering students with a choice, this promotes better attentiveness.
Ultimately, the goal of flexible seating is to better engage students and empower them with choices by providing diverse seating options.
In a flexible classroom, students have control over HOW they learn. Students are granted the opportunity to choose how they learn best.
My students' learning is my top priority and I believe that flexible seating will enhance their learning and make their time in the classroom that much more valuable.
More than half of students from low‑income households
