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 Students

This is my 7th year with the NYC Board of Education. My third grade students have a variety of needs. The school's demographics are 78% Hispanic, 13% English Language Learners and 27% Students with Special Needs. Many resources are needed to ensure that all learners needs are being met. In third grade one of the most important things for our Special Ed students is to have an environment with visuals to go along with all the teaching materials. it is imperative that students feel comfortable in a classroom. A comfortable and fun environment will lead students to do their best learning.

Our school's mission is to collaboratively educate the whole child.

My students deserve the best education possible and I want to make sure they have the resources available to provide them with that.

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.

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

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices.
