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 Project
My students are a group of energetic, enthusiastic fourth graders many of whom are noticeably more engaged and focused on their work and less disruptive to the rest of the class when they have a chance to minimize distractions or have a way to fidget quietly.
Many of my students are much more successful during independent work if they are able to work in a spot with fewer distractions.
The privacy shields I have chosen for this project will make it possible to lessen distractions and increase focus for many students at one time.
The chair bands, yoga ball seats, and fidgets will give multiple options for students who need a quiet way to fidget during learning time. They will be extremely beneficial to students who really need to get some energy out during the school day.
I have noticed that my students are better able to focus, and the quality of their work is much higher when they have options to reduce distractions and to fidget quietly. The products I have chosen will help me create a classroom where all kinds of learners are successful and motivated!
