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
My class forms part of a diverse community of learners in the heart of our community. A typical day in my classroom involves challenging students to overcome their fears as learners.
The school I am currently working in, is a Title I school that services children of different backgrounds and learning abilities.
Students are exposed to hands on activities and collaborative groups to form meaningful and long lasting learning. My students are always eager and attentive to learn new things everyday.
My Project
Today's school community is surrounded by students of different learning styles and abilities. As teachers, it's important we meet the needs of these students. In order for us to support these students we need to find the appropriate tools and resources. My students are in need of a Q Ball, floor chairs, cushion and other flexible seating options to help them master fundamental concepts and skills throughout core academics using their favorite learning preference.
A Q Ball and flexible seating can be used to help my students adjust to a new school year, promote a positive classroom learning environment and provide opportunities for growth in academics and participation.
Through the Q Ball and flexible seating students feel a sense of empowerment. These materials will encourage and increase a sense of community and collaborative learning. Overall, these materials will directly impact my students by stimulating a sense for learning and participation.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
