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
My students learn best when they are given a choice on where they can work throughout the classroom. These flexible seating options will provide them with different opportunities to learn based on their preference. Including flexible seating choices in my classroom will allow my students to be focused when working independently, and be more collaborative when working with their peers in our classroom space.
When given a choice between working at a traditional desk and chair, or a space around the classroom, my students always choose to complete their work around the classroom.
The flexible seating options I have selected will be utilized throughout the day, but specifically will be used during literacy and math centers, small group instruction and free choice time. The Ottoman Chairs, Bean Bags and Floor Cushions can be used throughout the room on the floor. They will give my students the opportunity to sit comfortably on the floor when sitting and working with a clipboard. I have seen how choice has positively affected my students' work completion, and engagement. I hope that including flexible seating options will help my students to continue to learn and grow even more!
More than half of students from low‑income households
