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

Flexible seating allows my students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room, such as at different tables, or sitting on the floor. Making sure my students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

The "Comfy Floor Seats" that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. In addition to the "Comfy Floor Seats", my students need a classroom library that is organized. These book carts will make books more accessible and appealing. As a result, my students will be able to easily find books that interest them, leading to more reading time and improved literacy skills. The visual timer will improve time management.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor. These materials will help my students grow even more!
