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

Teaching in an urban district means that the students that enter my classroom come in with a wide range of skills and experiences. The majority of our students are low income and ELL students. Some have never attended school and have had little to no home experience with literacy or basic skills like holding a pencil, using scissors, etc.

Many of our students start the school year speaking little, or no English but quickly learn to LOVE school.

It is very rewarding to watch these students grow throughout the year. Their brains are like little sponges and each year I am AMAZED by how much progress they make.

My Project

I am requesting stools as an alternative to regular classroom chairs. These stools can be used at tables for my students to be able to move around with more space to complete assignments. The stools will help students be able to attend to the task at hand better. They are lighter and easier to move around, especially for little learners.

These stools will also offer a flexible seating option.

Students can pull up stools when meeting in small groups or easily store them under their table if they choose to stand and work. Stools can be used in small group teaching with the teacher. When independently working on an assignment students can use these stools to sit on at their table. These portable stools can even be taken to other classrooms or the hall for different activities. Ultimately with these stools, students will have more move to room around the classroom to better meet their different learning styles.
