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 a class of 23 students who are English Language Learners. These students are new to the school, the city, the state, and the country.

For many, this is their very first exposure to an educational environment where teaching and learning take place every day.

They are all so bright and so ready to learn. They all show so much perseverance as they venture into the world of the English language. I love listening to them as they speak their first words in English, and I especially love to watch them as they grow into great citizens in our community.

My Project

It is a proven fact that movement allows for a greater learning experience and enhances learning. Flexible seating in a classroom can allow children to learn and move all at once. It also helps children develop responsibility and accountability for their actions and their learning. With flexible seating, students can learn in ways that are unique to themselves and their learning styles. No child is the same and each is unique; it is essential that in a classroom, students can express those differences and embrace them. With this flexible seating arrangements, students have the opportunity to do so. Thank You.
