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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

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 are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or lying 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.

This couch will help all the students to be more relaxed and comfortable and enjoy reading.

The couch will really help because we can only sit in hard chairs and the couch will cushion our tush!

Sleep-deficient children may have trouble making decisions, solving problems, controlling their emotions and behavior, and coping with change. Sleep deficiency has also been linked to depression and risk-taking behavior.

For these reasons, I have decided to convert my classroom office into a relaxation room, where students that are clearly sleep-deprived will have the opportunity to rest and reenergize so they can function effectively in class for the rest of the school day.
