The Fidget Seat for Teachers

I need to do something special for the teachers in my elementary school. They have all been very supportive towards each other sharing ideas and tip and tricks for online learning.

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 teach in an inner-city school with 95% poverty, and children with hearts of gold! This year in third grade we have a very high number of children with various educational needs. These students work so hard and are so sweet. Some of them have a very difficult home life, but they come to school virtually each day with a smile on their face.

We are 100% remote all day long.

As difficult as this is for my students, they show up every day, all day. This is a long day for children to sit in front of the computer and learn all of the new software that we have for their learning. Both my students and their families have been amazing!

Not only have my students been amazing, my entire school has been amazing. Every teacher and support staff has been there for each other every day! Virtual learning made every teacher a first year teacher. It has been hard and stressful but we have gotten through it together and have made our students so much smarter! This project is a bit unconventional but it will help all of our teachers who are online all day every day!

My Project

These cushions will help all of the teachers in my school with their remote teaching. Our school has been online all day every day and it is taking a toll on our bodies. These seat cushions will help eliminate the back pain many of us are feeling sitting all day online with our students.

The best part of this project is when we eventually go back to in person learning, these seat cushions will be used in the classroom for the students who need a fidget seat themselves.

These cushions will be a gift that keeps on giving.
