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 Project
Our students are exploring the world through project based learning. Instead of traditional learning, PBL can promote the development of critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills. It can also provide opportunities for working in groups, finding and evaluating research materials, and life-long learning.
As of right now, my students do not have a comfortable meeting area.
This impacts the way that they learn and retain information. A rug would allow them to be closer to me when I teach, and be engaged throughout the whole lesson.
Flexible seating allows them to take charge of their learning and become more independent. During PBL, 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 clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
