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 day is never a typical day. I teach students who are English Language Learners. The biggest challenge in my classroom is keeping my students engaged in learning. Our school has over sixteen different languages spoken and seventy-four percent of the students are at risk of educational failure. I work with students who have challenges with express their emotions appropriately. Students in my program do not learn through traditional teaching methods. Their materials need to be engaging and offer my students spatial awareness to stay on task.

My students are eager to learn, I just need materials to help them.

My students face a variety of learning and behavioral challenges every day. They have diverse learning skills and needs. Having hands-on learning materials for my students to use when they are struggling to learn is essential.

My Project

Each child has their own unique way of learning, and allowing interactive learning is the only way to engage each student with their individual learning style. My students need some extra motivation to learn new concepts and using gross motor materials will help me accomplish this. My school represents a large portion of low-income families with diverse backgrounds. Each student needs individualized learning to be a successful member of our society and school. I chose materials that will not only help with classroom management, but engages students in moving, shaking, and bouncing while staying on task.

The FlexSpace seating materials I have chosen will allow my students to stay active, healthy, and be engaged while learning.

The Lakeshore FlexSpace Wobble cushions and chair will allow my students to move while they learn their phonics. This is perfect for my Kinder students and will help my students work collaboratively with their peers while staying active. The magentic letter tiles and roll diagraphs game will allow them to build their phoics skills. Keeping my students active and engaged is essential for my active learners and special needs students.

Let them get the wiggles out while staying focused on learning.
