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

I have amazingly resilient students who come from very low socioeconomic backgrounds. For many of my students, school is their safe place; they are excited to come to school and learn how to be a valued member of society. They are gaining confidence, finding their purpose, and treating others with respect and empathy. This year we have implemented restorative practices and circles school wide. I have also been researching and incorporating several Social and Emotional Learning strategies on my own.

My Project

Providing a space for my students to call their own is important, especially for those who live in studio apartments or multi-family housing. Giving my students choice within the classroom has empowered them to speak more freely and share openly. They voiced that they would appreciate padded seats, movement options, and floor seating. Even though this isn't enough seating for everyone, I'm sewing a padded bench cushion for them, and this will give us an excellent start towards flexible seating. The padded swivel chairs with wheels should increase collaboration and mobility within the room. I want to create a learning community for my students, not just a classroom.
