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

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and work in a space that works best for them. Throughout the day, you will see my students working at different desks, using wobbly chairs at working stations, or sitting/laying on mats on the floor. It has been a game changer in increasing student engagement!

By donating to our project, you will be creating a space where students are able read, write and work collaboratively!

Students would have an additional seating option for working in small groups. My students love working with their peers. As the teacher, I love when they share their ideas and work through new concepts together. Help me create a learning environment that fosters this discourse.
