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

My students are some of the hardest working students in our school district. I teach Resource Special Education classes and I also teach in our school’s free after school program. I teach two separate afterschool classes of 4th grade students. Over 65% of my students are English Language Learners– many of these students are still learning how to speak English. Our school has the highest Hispanic population in the state. Our school also qualifies as a Title One School: over 85% of our students live in poverty and receive free/reduced lunch. Despite all of these obstacles, these students are eager to come to school each day. They always try their best and never give up when they face hardships. The students at this school are really special, and their enthusiasm and willingness to learn make teaching them such a joy.

My Project

Most of my students already prefer to stand during my class. They say it helps them focus on their school work. They are currently standing and trying to use notebooks and clipboards as support while they work. This is a little hard for them to handle. With a standing workstation, they would be able to keep their materials on the desk while still being able to stand and move while working. Research has shown that standing desks at work are linked to higher productivity at work, and many companies are switching to standing work spaces. I believe this should be carried over into the school system. Research has also shown that sitting all day can be harmful for your spine. My wish is to see my students be as productive and healthy as they can possibly be, and these desks will help them to accomplish that goal.
