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 have 27 energetic fourth graders in my New York City classroom. Many of the children come from low-economic households but they have big dreams. They understand the importance of a good education. Most of the students attend after school programs as well so they are expected to sit for most part of the day at their traditional desks and chairs. Imagine sitting on uncomfortable chairs from 8:00 am to 6:p.m. Flexible seating options would make them more comfortable and give them an opportunity to move which is great for their brains.

My students work both in homogeneous groups and in heterogeneous groups in order to accomplish their daily learning targets.

Flexible grouping is not only an instructional strategy but it also teaches them how to work well with others which is a lifelong skill.

My students would be so excited to be the first class to have flexible seating in our school!

My Project

My fourth graders in Brooklyn participate in a lot of group work throughout the day and are in need of flexible seating and supplies that would make their transition from the traditional wooden student desks to their group areas more effective. Whether they are working on problem-solving in mathematics, a STEAM project or on reciprocal reading strategies, they are learning how to engage in positive discourse. Many students like to sit on the floor and the cushioned pads would be much more comfortable than sitting on the bare tiled floors.

We believe in the power of TEAMWORK.

Together we succeed! Your generous donation will make it possible for us to have the materials we need for group work and the flexible seating to make it more comfortable.
