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

Our school is a Title I school located in Florida. 98% of our students are economically disadvantaged and qualify for free or reduced price lunch. The majority of my students are struggling readers who are below grade level. Additionally, a large number of them are classified as ELL or English Language Learners; and a significant number of their parents are migrant workers who speak little or no English.

It is difficult to keep these struggling readers engaged during small group time.

Consequently, in an effort to differentiate instruction, I allow my students to participate in different center activities. These activities may call for independent or group work. If you were to walk into my classroom during our small group time, you would find students sitting together in a corner, lying on the floor or sitting on my teacher chair or stool.

My Project

After our whole group instruction, students are able to move into small groups. They love working in a corner with their group, or standing by their desks to complete their work. Even more rewarding, they love sitting on the teacher chair or stool. As our options are limited, I have been raffling the teacher chair at the end of the day. My students absolutely love this option!

My students would love flexible seating!

The wobble chairs, soft seats and stools would make them more comfortable. Additionally, it would help to keep them motivated and focused on learning. It would also promote collaboration and help to prevent disruption.
