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
Hi there!
All of my ESL students will benefit from additional flexible seating.
The new seating will allow them 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 and sitting or lying on the floor with a clipboard.
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. This allows them to get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
The snacks will provide much-needed nourishment, so my students can wholeheartedly concentrate on their learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
