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 amazing! The school we are at is a Title I school in Arizona. We have a fantastic administration, wonderful teammates, and the best students! My students are very hard workers and also know how to have fun. I wouldn't trade them for anything. I love seeing their faces every morning.

My students have a desire to learn.

They always want to know more, learn more, do more, and read more of everything. Our classroom is our own little family.

My Project

All students learn in different ways. Distractions can easily remove a students focus from a lesson. To alleviate this, flexible seating comes into play!

When students can wiggle and move around, they can focus on the learning easier.

Having fidget bands for their chairs will help them get their wiggles out, without distracting others around them. They don't have to get up and distract anyone or remove their focus from their learning. Some students come to the carpet for a lesson to see better or to help them stay focused. The round floor cushions allow students to comfortable sit on the rug and get their wiggles out, while still learning.
