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 seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. I have seen this in many classrooms, and hope to make my room more comfortable with choices. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in the students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. This grant includes a comfortable couch with adjustable laptop desks. There are usb-c hdmi cables, so students can show their projects on the smartboard.

Students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

I have seen how choice can positively affect the student's work and demeanor, and hope the additional options will help us grow even more!
