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 are beautiful, eager 1st graders in a low-income area in East New York, Brooklyn. The school receives 100% free breakfast and lunch.

These students need to be given experiences that make them excited to come to school to work and learn!

Loving to come to school means succeeding in the future!

They are only in first grade, so it is critical that they develop a love of school and learning at this early and integral time in their education.

My Project

These ball seats will be a great way to reduce restlessness and increase focusing. They will allow for some students to move and balance while working and learning. They can be easily moved around the classroom and allow for student choice!

Flexible Seating is a great strategy to increase success rates!

Also, the reading phones can be used to increase focusing as well. They allow for the children to hear themselves read, listen for fluency and monitor their own reading, which is a challenging strategy to have youngsters do!

I thank you for your consideration of donating to my project!
