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 amazing students are creative, thoughtful, and full of energy! They are extremely inquisitive during learning. They question not only our topic but how and why things work the way they do. They are also extremely energetic. We are in a small West Texas oil and railroad town that has been greatly effected by oil prices reducing. My school is 85% economically disadvantaged. 75% of our kids eat all three meals at school from breakfast to an early “dinner” during our after school program. Some students are at the school for more hours than myself! While they do get PE and recess time that helps with the wiggles, many students are constantly moving around the room. We do many station activities that gives them the opportunity to work or play games in different areas but sometimes they still have to sit and do some work.

My Project

With alternative seating, my students can take charge of their learning! Research shows, my own experience also shows, that students become more interested and confident when they are able to choose during their learning. Not only that, but it helps them with responsibility. During independent work, they will be asked to choose what space is best for them. What chair or area would you do your absolute best work in? Hopefully, they will have the opportunity to make these decisions. Can you do your best work in a wobble chair? Sitting with a pillow and a clipboard? Or maybe even a traditional chair and desk. They will have the opportunity to learn and choose for themselves. Thank you for taking the time to read about my amazing kiddos. Thank you for your consideration. We are thankful for any help we can get!
