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 students are bright, energetic learners! Each student is an individual with different strengths and weaknesses. What may work for one student, may not work for another student. And that is okay! We value our strengths and encourage each other in the areas that need additional work.

Our classroom is bursting with 31 amazing thinkers!

Our classroom is a bilingual classroom which means every student is learning in English and Spanish. While English is a second language for the majority of my students, they work hard and put their best effort into their work. These young individuals are winners!

My Project

Flexible Seating in the classroom encourages students to make decisions that impact their learning. My students are taught to be aware of the places and seating options in the classroom that helps them do their best. Allowing students to find seating options that are comfortable for them leads to higher engagement in the classroom. I have seen student engagement increase significantly by simply providing the option to sit on the floor or stand while working.

Flexible seating options empowers students to make smart choices for themselves.

Students that have a choice of where to work in the classroom are more engaged, focused, and comfortable. The portable lap desks and recliners will provide flexibility for students that want to continue to work without having to remain seated in an uncomfortable chair.

Students enjoy moving around the classroom as well as having the responsibility of choosing where they can work comfortably. This project will provide comfortable seating options, increase student engagement, and allow students to make responsible choices.
