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 Students

My students are scientists. My students are mathematicians. My students are readers. My students are authors. My students are explorers. My students make discoveries each and every day.

Our Science Academy provides our students with a fast paced and rigorous STEM curriculum.

It is our mission to provide our students with a challenging and inquiry-based STEM curriculum to maximize individual potential and ensure that our students succeed in a globally community. Our goal is to expose students to as many learning opportunities that will prepare them for the future as possible, all while bringing to the forefront ideas and concepts that they may not have considered before.

My Project

My students need flexible seating options, including ten Learniture stools, a Wobble Cushion and a bright new area rug, which allow them to have choice and comfort during their day and be more engaged in their studies. Think about when you go to a local coffeehouse to complete some work. Why do you choose to work there? Where do you choose to sit? Many seating choices abound, like the couches and big chairs, as well stools, tables, and chairs. Regardless of your selection, you have a choice. You get to choose where you sit. Why should the classroom be any different?

The world is changing, however, our classrooms have been remaining largely the same.

Updating our classroom space is a straightforward way to allow students to have choice within their learning environment and for many, it allows them to find academic success on their own terms.
