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 learners are a diverse group of First Graders who love learning and empower themselves everyday to show up with a smile and an infectious eagerness to learn. I teach a First Grade ESL class with learners bursting with unique diverse cultures, learning styles, and intelligences. In our classroom, we want to feel excited and inspired to learn. Feel motivated to use our imagination and get ready to explore adventures as learners. I want to ehance learners’ learning experiences by letting them feel powerful in making choices in how they will learn and that is best for them to crush their goals. This is why I am seeking to create a flexible seating classroom, so that learners feel empowered by choice.
My Project
These diverse flexible seating materials such as yoga ball chairs, wobble chairs, balance balls, stools, and wobble cushions will increase student engagement, enhance learners focus, and motivate learners to do their best work by giving them the power to choose the way they are most comfortable to learn that meets their needs best. During independent work time they choose a location in the classroom that works best for them. Making sure learners are comfortable is a key component to motivating them.
Giving learners opportunities of choice in their learning process, empowers learners to feel confident and responsible.
It fosters a sense of pride and ownership of their learning.
