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.
Students are on an educational plan and struggle with presenting ideas, organizational skills and accessing grade-level curriculum. The majority of my students are from low income households and struggle financially to provide school materials for their children to be successful. These students come to my classroom to receive support in their academic cores to close the academic gap between them and their same-aged peer group. My students work so hard and deserve a classroom they are excited to come into.
As special education students, they benefit from manipulative that they can interact with, flexible learning environment that is orderly and engaging.
My school serves a diverse range of students, and many of my students speak two languages—generally, English and Spanish. The school serves over 1,000 students, and this project will benefit 30 special education students over the course of a year.
My Project
Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The rug will reduce background noised helping student maintain on task behavior and remain engage in lesson or activity. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need help reducing background noised, while helping reducing the glare from the floor onto the board. The comfy carpet will provided floor additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
