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

My students are helpful, caring, and motivated! They always strive to do their best! They love to work in groups and enjoy having the option to move around the classroom to work with their partners. They enjoy collaboration and the flexibility to make their own choices.

Providing more flexible seating options will give my students even more autonomy.

Having more seating choices will allow more of my students to work in different places around the classroom. Being able to find a different spot to work makes school more exciting and helps engage students even more!
