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 to school every day ready to learn about different topics and strategies. They are always excited about what we will be doing next. We have a variety of students that come from different backgrounds and learning styles.

I have four classes that rotate through my class.

Many students come from different levels of their learning process. I have students that grasp topics and are able to move on. I also have students that struggle and work hard to grasp the content. I also have students who struggle with focusing. I want to help them, that is why I am requesting your assistance in providing another tool to help them with focusing.

My Project

The Wobble Chair gives the struggling student a chance to focus. The chair takes the concept of an exercise ball and puts it into a stool.

The product description states, "The Kore Chair is not just a piece of furniture...it's a LIFE-Changer for active kids, kids with ADHD and Autistic kids...Kids learn better and are more productive...the Kid who may be considered "Unteachable" is now able to learn!"

It also states that the Wobble Chair provides an outlet for restlessness and extra energy. Keep kids active while seated - KIDS LOVE IT!

Some teachers have it in the lower grades, and they say it helps students.
