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

Emotional regulation allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a activity in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. 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 regulation option. They almost always make good choices about what will help them regulate, and are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional options to make more effective learning choices.

The body socks are a great recourse and will allow students to sit and focus. These items will be extremely beneficial for all my students that just need to get the wiggles out. The comfy floor seat and the floor matts will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
