Celebrating 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.
I teach in a Title I school. As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with many different challenges in and out of the school. Besides these challenges, I am looking to provide each of them with enough appropriate tools to lead them to success. All of my students get free breakfast and free lunch.
I have many newcomers who come from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, and El Salvador.
My students do not have a chance at home to have a learning environment. That is why I need to ensure that they get the resources to expand their learning opportunities.
I am willing to provide the best learning environment for each and every one of them. I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I can certainly control their experience during the school time to help them maximize their knowledge.
My Project
After being in distance learning for more than one year I want to make my classroom comfortable enough for my students so that they can enjoy their independent reading time.
Flexible seating allows 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 choose to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure 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.
