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 3rd grade in a Dual Immerssion Program in Salinas CA. All of my students are English Language Learners. Some of my students speak Spanish others speak English at home, but all of my students come to school to learn in both languages: English and Spanish at our Dual Immerssion Program.
Our school highly promotes reading by using AR to set students goals.
Students meeting those goals receive a Triple Crown Certificate for all the hard work they put in reading during the trimester.
My students and I have been working intensively to read at grade level proficiency in both languages. We are setting realistic goals and are working to achieve those goals.
My Project
As educators we always want to have a great learning environment for our students. Flexible seating helps students with their focus, and also with their physical health. Children need to move, flexible seating gives them the opportunity to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength.
This project will give me 10 flexible seats for my classroom, getting me close to half of my class being balance balls and wobble chairs.
Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive during the whole day.
