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 with mobile desks will significantly enhance the learning experience for our 3rd-5th grade English Language Learners (ELLs) by fostering collaboration and engagement. Mobile desks will allow students to easily rearrange their workspace, facilitating group work, peer-to-peer learning, and meaningful conversations. These seating arrangements will encourage students to engage with different partners, promoting language development through regular communication and interaction.

Mobile desks will allow students to reconfigure their seating for group work and discussions, increasing opportunities for collaborative learning.

The flexibility to move and work with various partners will give students more opportunities to practice speaking, listening, and comprehending the English language in real-world contexts. By offering a choice of seating, students will feel more comfortable and empowered in their learning environment, leading to greater focus and motivation. Mobile desks will create an adaptable environment that accommodates diverse learning styles, allowing students to engage fully and participate in a way that meets their individual needs.
