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

At the start of this school year, we wondered: How does a physical classroom space influence student learning?

We are collaborating with students to imagine a more comfortable, more flexible space to learn.

Our goal is to bring their designs to life and to make their dreams come true. We have decided to make one of our math classrooms the flexible learning lab for this year. We want to give more choice, more comfort, and more cushion in our classroom furniture with dry erase tables, couches, comfortable chairs, and an area rug.

The students selected this math teacher because Mr. P already wants the classroom space to belong to them: "The way he decorates his classroom shows he's excited to teach us. He loves what he's doing. We can see his joy on display every day." Mr. P puts students first and his carefully curated classroom demonstrates his dedication.

Through this collaboration, we will explore how much more we can learn in our physical classroom spaces when we prioritize a little more comfort and cushion.
