Flexible Seating

Help me give my students a more flexible and comfortable seating arrangement in the class. Students often struggle when trying to figure out math solutions. This table will allow them to write/draw their thinking out.

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

All of my students are unique. They all have a learning disability that affects how they learn and process information. I like to make my students as comfortable as possible with flexible seating arrangement to allow them to rearrange their Furnitures as needed to work in groups or solo.

Some of them doodle while waiting for their turn, some of them draw their ideas out before being able to put their ideas into words or solve math problems.

I would like to give them more opportunities to show me what they know by being able to write or draw on their desk. When working in math groups, students will also be able to effectively collaborate by

writing/drawing their ideas out on the table.
