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

In order for children to grow as learners teachers need to find strategies that work best for their students. Through music, movement, hands on learning and alternative seating I strive to reach those students who yearn for a different way to learn. When students are able to move they feel better and think better. My students are very energetic, excited, and enthusiastic about learning! My goal is to create the best learning environment for my students. Our school is a Pre-K - 3 elementary school. We are a title 1 school and we serve ESL students and special education students as well.

In my Kindergarten classroom I have a large ESL population (mainly Spanish speaking).

I am bilingual and this allows me to work closely with my ESL students and their families to offer the additional support they need to be successful in school. Each of my kindergarten students have very different needs but they all have one thing in common, they need movement!!

My Project

We recently were able to borrow a stability ball chair and wobble chair from another classroom this allowed my students to be physically active and engaged in learning. When I had to return the chairs my students decided that our classroom needed to have them.

I want to enhance my students learning environment with alternative seating.

My students need stability ball chairs and wobble chair as alternative seating to keep their bodies engaged and their brains focused. My students will be able to attend to instruction while releasing energy. Students will be working their core muscles, posture, and stability while engaged in learning. The students will have a choice in which seating option works best from them. Developmentally, children need to move their growing bodies frequently. Freedom to move while they learn will give them the stamina and focus they need during the school day.
