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 Students

My students are loving, caring, hardworking, and worthy! I love how funny they each are! They each have amazing personalities, and they make me smile every day. They are the reasons I love what I do! They are inspiring and motivating. They make me a better person every day, and I learn so much from them. They come from some of the lowest socioeconomic demographics. However, they have a great support system in our classroom and I do everything possible so they can be academically successful.

My Project

Students living with disabilities need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused. By having WORKPRO Heavy Duty Adjustable Hydraulic Shop Stool, Norwood Commercial Furniture White Stacking Stool Set - Stackable Nesting Stools and Storex Active Tilt Stool, students will have the option of flexible seating.

An uncomfortable student, is a distracted and unproductive student.

For example, picture a student who skipped or didn't have access to breakfast. As the countdown to lunch approaches, the sound of his or her growling stomach will make it impossibly hard to hear the teacher's voice. An uncomfortable chair can have the same affect.

Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive. As one teacher said, "There is no better way to show your support for a student-centered classroom, than creating a classroom from a student’s point of view." In her opinion, comfortable students are engaged students.
