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

I don't know how a child can sit in those metal chairs for 6 hours straight?! Flexible seating is the new way students are seen sitting in their classroom! When students are sitting not at a desk but in "different" kind of chairs doing their work many kiddos find it so fun! When kiddos are engaged and having fun while learning then that's my goal! Bleacher chairs, rocking chairs or even pool floats would be a FUN way for students to sit while doing their work! Why not make seating fun!

Ms. S PS 106 Parkchester Grades 3-5
