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

"Teachers who love teaching, teach children who love learning." As I enter my 20th year of teaching, I continue to follow this mantra in my classroom. I teach 28 wonderful students who come from poverty. My students are from varying ethnic backgrounds. Most of them come from homes that are struggling financially.

My students are extremely motivated, and they are genuinely respectful to each other.

They are lovers of learning, and I am truly grateful to be their teacher this year. They come to school with smiles on their faces, and they are eager to learn. We need new books to use in our literacy centers.

My Project

My students are energetic, boisterous, and amazing learners. We need 6 flexible seating chairs to get their wiggles out. During my literacy stations, my students come to my guided reading table to read leveled readers and work on word skills. During this time, the students can get antsy. These chairs will allow my students to focus on their books and allow them to move at the same time.

Flexible seating lets kids move and adjust themselves in a way that won't disrupt the rest of the class.

Some kids just have to keep moving. These flexible seating chairs would be a great addition to my classroom.
