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.
Stepping into a new classroom this January, a new grade, a new family is daunting. It's also exciting! My return to school comes mid-year after a fall spent about an hour away. The community my students live in can be a high need and yet, you will find some of the most resilient, kind, funny, energetic, and, most importantly, eager-to-learn students who are willing to climb mountains to learn.
Our class motto this year is TRY: Take Chances, Risk it, and Make Mistakes, and Yearn to do better than Yesterday.
Despite obstacles that would be too much for many adults, they remain bright, funny, and fun-loving, and they really enjoy the safety and security that school brings. Our school not only keeps the kids safe, but it's a place where learning comes alive. It's a building steeped in passion and excitement and it is my hope to continue to create a space that is safe, exciting, and educational!
My Project
Our 3rd grade has a TON of learning happening all the time, and while we have brand new tables and places to learn, our seating options are a bit limited.
We are looking to add two accordion-style brand new stools from Action Based Learning, along with a pod-like stool to add to our family meeting area, and finally, three more (I already purchased one) wobble stools in order to create more choices for seating in our class home.
These options mean the world to my 20 students. They enjoy finding the spaces that allow them to do their best learning, and I greatly enjoy the options that they create for flexible seating. Some students really need to get their wiggles out in a way that is appropriate and doesn't detract from the learning of others.
Help us find our groove by rock and rolling our way to great learning!
