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.
I teach in a Title 1 school where most of the students come from a low socio-economic setting. I provide a warm welcoming environment where they feel at home in my classroom and escape the many trials of living in communities that are high in crime, poverty and homelessness. My students show determination and resiliency everyday when they come to school with a smile on their face ready to learn.
I have a fun and energetic group of first grade students, who enjoy getting up and moving around.
Last year, I had bean bags to sit on during reading time and students would and I found that they would request to sit on them throughout the day. They were also eager to use their rewards to have the core ball instead of their chair.
My Project
Many of my students have sensory needs to assist in their learning. Providing When students are able to move there bodies in a safe manner (instead of tipping the chair onto two legs) while sitting like with the Chair ball (whole body), wobble cushions (whole body and sensory), and fidget bands (feet and resistance) this allows there brains to focus on what the teacher is teaching.
I have also included Chewable Pencil topper for my students with oral sensory needs.
Students with these needs will often chew on any item available including their shirts, paper, pencils etc. The pencil toppers provide a safe alternative for students to chew on to meet their sensory needs.
