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

Goals for the Project

Enhance Comfort and Engagement:

Goal: Create a comfortable and engaging learning environment.

Beanbags: Provide a cozy and relaxed setting that can reduce anxiety and make students feel more at ease, which can enhance their ability to focus and participate in learning activities.

Facilitate Focused Learning:

Goal: Minimize distractions and support individual learning needs.

Headphones: Allow students to focus on the Lexia program without being distracted by ambient noise, enabling them to work at their own pace and improve their listening and comprehension skills.

Organize Learning Materials:

Goal: Create a structured and accessible learning environment.

Organizational Tools: Help maintain a tidy and efficient classroom where materials are easily accessible, reducing time spent looking for resources and increasing time available for learning.

Support Language Acquisition:

Goal: Improve students' English language skills through targeted practice.

Lexia Program: Provides personalized, adaptive learning paths that address each student’s unique needs, helping them improve their reading, writing, and comprehension skills in English.

Promote Equity in Education:

Goal: Ensure all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have access to quality learning tools.

Providing Resources: By supplying beanbags, headphones, and organizational tools, you ensure that students from low-income families have the same opportunities for a conducive learning environment as their peers from more affluent backgrounds.

Arrange beanbags in a reading corner or quiet area where students can engage in independent reading or use the Lexia program.

Create a schedule to ensure all students get a chance to use the beanbags and headphones.

Focused Learning:

Provide each student with a set of headphones. This not only helps with focus but also ensures hygienic use.

Classroom Organization:

Use organizational tools to create designated areas for different types of learning activities

Label shelves and bins clearly to help students quickly find and return materials.

Support with Lexia:
