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 would love to give my dual language learners the opportunity to have some alternative flexible seating in our classroom. Having these options for my students would give them flexibility to expand on their creativity and engagement in the classroom.

Having a choice in seating allows students to feel empowered and will enable them to have some control over their environment.

It also allows them to have a choice of where, how, and with whom they work which in turn builds higher order thinking skills.

When students are able to choose their own seat, they are also able to find a seating arrangement that works best for them. This means that they are more likely to be comfortable which can lead to improved focus and concentration, staying on task, and being more productive. Additionally, it allows students to choose, take turns, and share various locations, supplies, and seating options.

This is a significant benefit because in the world we live in today, collaboration is needed in all working environments. When giving students a choice of how and where they sit in the classroom, collaboration can occur more efficiently. This switch allows the students to be invested in their education.
