Students now have designated spaces for their materials, which has helped them take ownership of their learning and stay organized. With everything in its place, transitions between activities are smoother, giving us more time for meaningful learning experiences. Research shows that a structured yet flexible environment enhances student success, and your generosity has helped us create just that!\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're excited to continue using these resources to support collaboration, independence, and bilingual learning. Our next goal is to integrate more student-led projects, where they can use their flexible seating areas to work in teams and engage in discussions in both Spanish and English.
