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

I teach 5th grade in a Spanish dual language immersion classroom where students not only build strong academic foundations, but also develop their communication skills, build teamwork, and grow more confident expressing themselves in a second language.

To do this, I’m working to bring flexible seating into my classroom giving students the freedom to choose where and how they learn best.

The lap desks will give my students the freedom to work wherever they feel most comfortable, making it easier for them to stay focused and engaged during writing, reading, and problem-solving activities. The floor cushions will create a welcoming space for collaboration, hands on STEM projects, and language practice. Both resources support movement and choice helping students stay motivated and take ownership of their learning.

Flexible seating also encourages movement and teamwork, which are essential for developing communication and social skills. As my students collaborate in different seating setups, they build stronger relationships, practice language in meaningful ways, and develop the confidence to share ideas with their peers.

These materials will make a big difference in helping my students feel safe, valued, and ready to succeed in a bilingual, STEM-rich classroom. Thank you for supporting their journey!
