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

Our Media Center is a hubbub of creative activity! There are students and classes in and out throughout each day. We are not just reading books in our library though --we are exploring and creating too!

Our school serves a group of energetic middle-schoolers who thrive on hands-on experiences and learning through concrete, creative and collaborative methods.

They love art and other ways to express their individual personality and creativity! We are in a rural area of NC and have an extremely diverse student population. Many of our students speak English as a second language and many others have special learning needs and attention problems. While it is true that our school faces a lot of social and economic challenges, we have a fantastic community that supports us both inside and outside our school building!

My Project

We have spent the last year expanding our Media Center's MakerSpace area in a huge way by adding a large variety of art supplies, and our students have been SO excited about it! They have flocked in after-school on their own to create and make things as well as coming with classes to celebrate their passions and create new things while supplementing and extending their classroom lessons! Our reading class is finishing Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick, and use the art materials in the MakerSpace to bring the dioramas from the book to life with their own two hands and creativity! Additionally, our students are very energetic and need to move. A lot! You can see this in the way that they are constantly fidgeting and trying to rock our non-rocking chairs. Our media center's only seating option are very traditional, straight-back chairs that are very wide but offer very little in the way of comfort! The chairs are unwieldy and do not move easily to allow students to work in collaborative groups effectively.

These Hokki stools would add a new seating option to our MakerSpace art center that are lightweight and portable while also empowering students through art and movement!

This will make it very easy for students to move them around and use them in collaborative groups with others while extending their classroom lessons. The new option would help us continue our endeavors to energize the media center and make it a more collaborative and empowering place!
