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 Project

Small group tables are essential tools in fostering targeted and meaningful instruction. These tables provide a dedicated space where students can engage in focused, small-group discussions, receive individualized support, and participate in activities tailored to their specific learning needs. By reducing distractions and encouraging collaboration, small group tables create an environment where students feel comfortable sharing ideas, asking questions, and working closely with peers and the teacher.

The goal of this project is to create a designated, organized area in the classroom that facilitates high-quality, small group instruction.

With this space, I will increase student engagement and participation in small group activities, foster academic discourse and peer collaboration.
