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.
My students are a group of fun-loving fifth and sixth graders who come from low socioeconomic status families in a racially diverse community. They are eager to explore and try new things, despite them not having much opportunity to do so. Many of them are first generation Americans and are the first in their family to aspire to go to college.
All the community rallies around the students to help them succeed.
They live in a community where English is their second language. I have students from all over Latin America and Asia. Research has shown that auditory learning is one of the best ways for ESL students to learn English. As they listen, they get to hear pronunciations and speech patterns that will, in turn, help them develop their English language skills.
My Project
I am rearranging my classroom to create a more open environment. My students will have a more flexible seating arrangement where they will feel more comfortable. Having them feel comfortable will enable them to 'like' learning, rather than 'forced' to learn.
Comfort is the key to learning.
When my students are relaxed and comfortable, they will love to learn. Having cushions in the room will allow my students to be comfortable on the floors. This creates a more friendly and desirable classroom. My students will be working in groups or centers, and this will allow them to feel they can move around and sit anywhere in the room.
Pillows will also create a desirable area in the library area. This will create a relaxing and enjoyable area, where they can just enjoy reading. A desirable environment will create a love for learning!
