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 students come from a diverse low socio-economic community and are an active and curious group of students. They range in age and grades. They receive special education support to help them do better in school.

My students have special needs that impact their learning.

Several of my students have attention difficulties and sensory integration needs. When these needs are not met, it is difficult for them to pay attention in the classroom. These students want to learn but, need support to overcome these challenges. I enjoy working with these students. Though learning is difficult, they have a great attitude and always have a smile.

My Project

Flexible seating that provides movement allows students to choose the seating that best works for their learning style and needs.

For the student that needs movement, they can choose between the balance ball chairs or the wobble chairs.

When reading in the library or working on the floor, the comfy floor chairs provide the right support.

These products such as wobble chairs and balance ball seats, provide movement and sensory input over the traditional chairs usually found in a classroom. Data has shown that students who can move throughout the day stay better engaged.

Providing alternate seating options will help my students overcome their attention difficulties and sensory integration challenges so they can stay engaged and motivated in their learning.
