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
I have been given the opportunity to teach the best group of little people imaginable. They are kind, generous, and appreciate the small things in life. They arrive each day with a smile, ready to show the world the greatness inside of them.
These little people are absolutely amazing.
They face many challenges and hardships that would defeat any average person. One hundred percent of my students receive free lunch, English is a second language for the majority of my class, and many are facing extraordinary challenges at home. Some even experience periods of homelessness. My students are not average, however. They are extraordinary!
Despite the many challenges they face, they come to school ready and excited to learn! They come with open minds and open hearts and are the most remarkable and kindhearted people I have had the pleasure to know. This is shown day after day, as they request extra time to work in place of recess, show excitement over STEM and other hands-on activities, persevere to complete accurate work no matter how long it takes, and extend a helping hand to classmates when they need it.
My Project
My students love the opportunity to work collaboratively as a team. They learn how to get along with each other and accept each other through flexible seating options. In the traditional classroom, students sit at individualized desks for independent learning. The resources in this project will help my students continue their flexible seating journey in my room. They will be able to choose where in the room to sit, work together, take turns with the different options, and learn from each other. This type of seating promotes inclusion and diversity by providing my students with a comfortable safe place to share and learn together.
Students love having the choice of where to sit and working together to create a space that is conducive to collaboration.
These resources are more than just seating. They are tools that help them build diversity among each other. I am asking for two comfortable saucer chairs that I will pair together in my room to create a beautiful flex space for all.
Thank you for considering donating to this project and allowing my students more time to build tolerance and create the best learning space possible!
