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 at a high poverty school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch! I have high expectations that they will grow and learn beyond what is expected. We are learning skills such as robotics, coding, and typing along with our curriculum. School is a safe and happy place for my students. Each day, they come into the classroom excited about the day and spending time exploring and learning together. For many of my students, being at school is the best part of their day.
My Project
My students love to move but wiggling while working can be a distraction. My students would love to get wiggle seats into our class. These seats are fun colors and are able to help us improve posture. The seats move in a circular motion which is a great way to fidget for kids who need to move during class. Our class is very energetic and ask daily "Is it my turn for the wobble seat?" " Can I have the stool at my desk?" The students are constantly asking when can they have a turn and if I can buy more. They see a difference, when they get to use the stool.
We try to get up and move as much as possible so it is not boring to sit in class all day.
These seats will help more than 40 students each day move as they work! My students have said,"This stool keeps me moving, so I can wiggle and learn". The fidget/wiggle stool are great for students with ADHD and autism to be able to move without distracting others. Not only will the stools help them move to stay focused, but also for exercise through movement.
My students will be able to focus and learn new skills. These stools will make our classroom a better learning environment. These stools will provide a safe way to move in class. Instead of tapping a pencil or poking our neighbor.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
