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 class is made up of diligent, inspiring, and creative fourth graders with big hearts and analytical minds. They attend school every day with purpose and a desire to learn something new, to discuss what they think, and take pride in their efforts. My students learn in a bilingual community with a high level of family support. They attend our school with growing technology opportunities that enhance their approach, application, and articulation of their knowledge and their new learning. We balance this with many opportunities to develop creativity and physical fitness through sports. We support the development of persistence, teamwork, and determination.

My Project

Our student's classic classroom furniture works well for part of our day. We make great use of it. We need to upgrade our learning environment by providing flexible seating for flexible grouping and independent tasks. These portable lap desks will provide students with opportunities to efficiently set up small group work spaces anywhere in and out of the classroom. It allows for a mobile work surface for our reading, writing, math, science, and technology tasks. Allowing our students the flexibility in work spaces will allow for students to have various options that allow for both focused independent and collaborative opportunities.
