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 have a great group of Kindergarteners whose love for learning is out of this world. They have so much energy that is hard for them to sit still for long periods of time, with the balance ball chair it will give my students the ability to use their energy while learning. I have tried my best to provide them with different seating options and I know this will be one that will benefit many of them. I cannot wait to see how learning will be changed with this need tool.
