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 Pre-K students love coming to school to learn and interact with their friends. Although the majority of them come from low-income families, they come to school every day with a smile on their face.

Each child comes to school eager and ready to be challenged and learn!

We are on the move in our classroom. We are constantly mixing things up throughout the day. Large group, small group, partner work, and individual work opportunities are utilized daily. Finding the best way for everyone to learn is my goal.

My Project

Having these wobble stools in the classroom will allow me to provide and alternative seating option to traditional chairs. Pre-K students are very young and active who "wiggle" all day long. I have seen the impact flexible seating in the classroom does for the students. I want to provide my students the opportunity to be successful in school and that includes avoiding traditional seating and using wobble stools.

These wobble stools will allow the students to sit and have movement while still being able to focus on their activity.

Wobble stools are a safe way to have movement for students who need to fidget by having the option to rock back and forth.
