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 5th grade students attend one of the largest elementary schools in Utah with over 800 students from Pre-K to 6th grade. All four of the 5th grade classrooms are in portables behind the school since our school is so large! 80% of these students qualify for free or reduced-priced lunch. However, these students have goals and want to achieve greatness, but lack the tools that are necessary. They want to learn and understand. They want to grow and ask questions. I want to help provide them with these tools so they can achieve their potential.

My Project

Have you ever had to sit on a typical student chair for a whole day? I have and that is what convinced me to start including flexible seating in my 5th grade classroom.

These flexible seating materials will allow my students to get some of their energy out while still learning within my classroom.

The kneeling chairs will allow my students to practice good posture or be creative about how to sit on the seat. The surf lap desks will allow my students to use their 1:1 Chromebooks anywhere within the classroom. The reading pillows will make a comfy place to work while sitting on the floor. The chair bands will allow footsie feet to release energy while continuing to work.
