Stop! Collaborate and Listen Seating

Help me give my students desks and comfortable chairs that are conducive to collaboration! We do rotations and small group work all the time and the chair/desk combos are cumbersome and too small for many of my students.

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

I teach middle school Humanities as well as Newcomer ELD in San Diego. We combine history and language arts with texts from around the world both literary and expository. My newcomer class is the largest in the district and helps a melting pot of students from Mexico, to Egypt, to Japan acclimate to school in a new country and in a new language.

These students are hard working, caring, innovative, and truly the hope for the future.

As a STEAM school, we incorporate critical thinking and problem solving into our curriculum and guide students to form their own opinions and arguments based on information given and researched. The diverse backgrounds of the students brings many new ideas to the table and fosters empathy in addition to innovation.

My Project

My room currently has one small round table for collaboration and students are left rearranging furniture constantly to get into groups. Once arranged nicely into groups, the desk/chair combos make it an obstacle course for myself and any student that needs to walk around the room.

I hope to start to transform my room into a space that is welcoming, comfortable, and conducive to creative and critical thinking.

I want a room where students can easily switch seats, not feel uncomfortable squeezing in and out of the desks, and where the focus is on the learning and not how squeaky or uncomfortable the chairs are.

With these three sets I can run 4 different small group rotations comfortably with students doing independent work at the chair/desk combos. Teaching newcomer students means every student has a different grasp of English and small groups are essential to me meeting them where they are. In my Humanities classes, small groups research and use accountable talk strategies to debate and reason. They also jigsaw and report back to their table mates what they learned.
