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

I have a classroom of 16 diverse learners who show a great enthusiasm for learning. My students are bright, creative, and very dedicated to their education. Our classroom may seem like just another classroom from the outside, but as soon as you step foot into our learning environment, you will see why I have the best job in the world!

Their ability to collaborate, share, complete tasks, and help one another makes me extremely proud of them.

We are in a mostly low-income/high-poverty school district, with many of my students facing several challenges both in and out of the classroom. We strive to make school an enjoyable experience where all students feel safe and engaged. As their teacher, I aim to foster their curiosity and love of learning.

My Project

Throughout my years of teaching I have learned that comfortable students are engaged students. I have also learned that the smallest of changes can make a big difference in classroom environments and can help students feel empowered to learn. My students do get out of their seats throughout the day to keep their brains actively engaged, but when they need to sit, it would help to keep them focused if their chairs would not creak, have cracks, or screws that fall out because they are stripped, and are actually the right size for our growing kids.

Comfortable students are calm, focused, and productive.

Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. The products I have selected will help my students by giving them new and comfortable seating options so that they are more focused on learning.

I have seen how being comfortable in the classroom can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that comfortable seating will help us grow even more!
