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

Flexible seating allows students 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, at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or lying 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. 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.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices.

The carpet gives them a place to lay on their stomachs and spread out that is softer than the scratchy title carpet squares. The pillows and flexible floor seats give them support when they are sitting under the tables or against the walls working along with some of the other flexible seating that is in the classroom.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students’ work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
