Bean Bag Chairs

My students need two bean bag chairs in the classroom to sit when they are working on independent work.

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

My students come from various backgrounds and are from low income families. My students are diverse learners which diverse learning needs. The majority of my students are multi-sensory learners.

My students need comfy bean bags to enhance their learning experience.

My students enjoy working together and all attempt to share the bean bag that we currently have in the classroom. It is nice to see that they all like to work together, but they are all need their space and it is hard when all of them want to sit on the bean bag. The additional bean bags would allow my students to work together and sit comfortably.

My Project

My students love to work in small groups. The two additional bean bag chairs would be a great addition to my classroom as they all love to sit on them. It is really nice to see them all want to sit on the bean bag, but they need their space.

The two bean bag chairs would allow them to work in a comfortable space and additional seating in the classroom.

It is important that the students feel comfortable so that they can put their best effort when completing their work. As math learners, they do need to work in small groups to help them learn. The additional bean bags would benefit the small group instruction as more than one student can be working while sitting on a bean bag.
