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

The goal for new furniture in my classroom is to create an environment that fosters effective learning for all of my students. New furniture in my classroom will help enhance my students learning experience by promoting comfort, collaboration, and engagement. These ergonomically designed chairs and desk will provide better support, reduce physical discomfort and promote better posture, and promote a more conducive atmosphere for learning. I know my students will be excited to have flexible seating in our classroom. My students love designing our classroom environment, it allows them to use their creativity.
