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 classrooms and seating help give students a choice in what kind of learning space works best for them. It also helps them work comfortably and collaboratively with their peers. When students are able to choose their own seating, they are able to find a seating arrangement that works best for them. This means they are more comfortable, leading to improved focus and concentration, staying on task, and being more productive! Students can also quickly and easily pair up and work in small groups more easily, and find a space to work together, without the hassle of moving desks or dragging chairs across the room.
