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

A flexible seating classroom allows students to feel safe and welcome to learn math. It is important for them to be able to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, 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 clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating Therefore, having those extra cushion sofas would be an extra seating option. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. As well as, having a cushions that can also be used as seating alternatives.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their math activities and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
