Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
Middle school is a battleground of strong emotions and high dramatics - and this is exactly what makes every day an adventure. I love my students because they are incredibly curious and enthusiastic about everything. Our classroom feels like a family and my students take pride in our #nodaysoff motto. They come to class and give 100%, regardless of what challenges and crises they face outside our four walls. We have a classroom climate that is supportive, and students feel safe to try, fail and try again. This mindset is a game changer because the majority of my students are grade levels behind in reading. They are used to failing and used to giving up - until now.
My Project
Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my 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.
