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.
My sixth grade students come from racially and economically diverse backgrounds. They are clever, creative, and ready to be academically challenged. They need someone who believes in their unlimited potential, someone who will teach, challenge and love them. Many of my students receive backpack food on the weekend, and our school also runs a food pantry for our families. 100% of my students receive free breakfast and lunch to aid in student participation and performance.
Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best.
They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day. They know students from their school have an excellent chance at attending college, and understand the sacrifices many of their parents have made for them to attend a magnet school with limited bus service. For many students, attendance at their school and hard work once they are here, is a ticket out of poverty for themselves and their families.
My Project
My students need more flexible seating in my classroom to be able to move while working. The yoga ball chairs combine the best worlds of flexible seating that still mimics traditional seating. One parent donated a single yoga ball chair to my classroom, and it quickly became the most sought after seat in the classroom
Moving while working is very important for wiggly sixth grade students!
Four more yoga ball seats would enable an entire table full of flexible seating that can allows students to work in a traditional manner which will be the best of both worlds! My student's love flexible seating, and these yoga ball chairs will complete my flexible seating classroom.
