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' workspace needs are as unique as they are! As our students engage in learning, they often need a quiet space to work one minute, and the opportunity to collaborate with the teacher or others the next.

Providing students with a flexible environment allows them to focus on and attend to their tasks!

When students have the option to work in these spaces, we consistently see higher quality work, greater creativity, and deeper thinking.

With 30 kids in any given classroom, space to work can be hard to come by, but through this project, we will be able to support students with flexible learning spaces.
