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

We are an energetic and diverse group of fourth graders with more than half of the population from low income households. All students learn in different ways, The challenge my students are facing is being comfortable in a one size fits all classroom.

My goal is to incorporate active learning stools for my students.

From my experience, students benefit a great deal when provided with the choice of using an active learning stool during direction instruction, engaging in small group assignments, while reading independently or listening to teacher read alouds.

Flexible seating is highly beneficial for students. Children need to move! Flexible seating gives students permission to bounce, lean, kick, twist, roll, fidget, kneel and stand to suit their needs. Allowing flexible seating makes the classroom more student centered, improves the learning environment, keeps students calm and focused and helps students be their best learning.

My Project

My diverse group of learners need active learning stools. These active learning stools will help meet the learning needs of my students. Research clearly supports the use of flexible seating options in the classroom. Physical movement increases alertness. Furthermore, movement allows students to refocus and strengthen their ability to pay attention.

Keeping students engaged is perhaps the most important step in creating a successful learning outcome.

Flexible seating can help to develop skills for life and work beyond the classroom. Students benefit a great deal with active learning stools. Not only can my 4th graders be active learners, they can transition into cooperative learning groups with ease.
