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

My students and I are so excited about transitioning to flexible seating. Flexible seating gives students options and flexibility on where to sit. This allows them to find a "spot" that is just right for them and maximize their learning experience.

The essential items I am asking for will have a great purpose: The bins will allow students to store their backpacks in a safe place right outside the classroom, the canvas bags are where they will safely place their books, whiteboard, and pencil boxes, the markers are to decorate the canvas bags, and the hooks are to hang the bags up.

These items were strategically selected to last for a long time instead of using disposable plastic bags and carton boxes.

My amazing students will be so excited to receive these items to help with flexible seating.
