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 Project

Please help me provide alternative seating options for my energetic 4th/5th graders. Help them focus and learn! Imagine coming back from recess, energized and definitely not ready to learn. But then you have a comfy wobble stool that allows you to rhythmically move your body as needed and support your brain in calming down.

Having a safe and comfy space allows students to be better learners .

I have two and what I see is students learning how to calm down and self regulate and consequently be better learners. It makes sense, many of us often are have extra wiggles specially when being asked to sit for six hours on a stiff chair. Financing this project would allow me to provide more students the opportunity to self regulate, not just after recess but throughout the day and their entire life. It is so helpful to know what your learning style is and having this opportunity early on can allow my students to self- advocate for their needs.
