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

Every year, my classroom is filled with diverse learners. I have students who are just learning English. I have others with special needs. I also have high-achieving students. Within this diverse group, one-third come from low-income households and receive free/reduced-price lunches.

Although my students are all very different academically, economically, and culturally, my students are all curious and eager to be successful learners!

Our school emphasizes the importance of learning no matter what a child's background is. Each year, we strive to find many different resources for all our students to ensure they have the tools they need to grow and become college-prepared and career-ready learners.

My Project

Flexible seating has been a great addition to the classroom. The students get to make choices on where they will sit for the day. They get to make decisions on what will work best for them academically and giving them choices has shown a drastic change in the students' attitudes towards learning. Giving students these opportunities of choice has been working flawlessly and I hope to continue to bring joy to their learning with this project.

Currently, I have an area where my students can sit on the floor to learn or complete assignments, but they treat this option as if it is lava since they sit on uncomfortable pillows.

With these new seats, the students will have back support and will allow them to focus on any task. The seats will be used during direct instruction and independent instruction. Since the seats are lightweight, the students will also be able to move them easily to any spot of the room. I know these seats will become the highlight of the room and will be used all year long.
