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

I am a Combo Fourth & Fifth Grade teacher at a Title I School. Our school is a Pre-K through 5th grade public school. Here we strive to create an accessible environment for social, emotional, and academic success in order to support students in reaching their highest potential. Our mission is to create educational experiences for students that are challenging and enriching and that extend their academic abilities.

To know your student is to know who they are socially, culturally, and linguistically, along with what inspires, interests, and motivates them as students.

I know what my student’s need to become life long successful learners. I take into account and build upon the complex and rich text and background knowledge my student’s come with by means of their family, culture, and communities. My job and honor is to make those connections, habits, and relevance to each and every student I encounter.

My Project

How a classroom is designed and arranged makes a difference in student engagement, participation, and their overall learning experience. Flexible seating benefits are abundant and can result in the mental and physical improvement of many students. The freedom for students to choose their flexible seating is empowering and teaches them higher-order thinking skills.

Flexible seating advantages are endless and make learning student-centered.

The options of different types of movements with Wobble Stools and Bouncy Bands for Desks will allow students to get their blood pumping throughout the day.

This type of environment will assist in keeping students focused and engaged while improving their academic and social performance.
