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

Thank you for taking your time checking out my project. I would really like to have some flexible seating for my EC (special ed) students. We spend a lot of time together and having different types of seats in the class will be a boost for them.

With these chairs and hands-on math resources, my students will have more opportunities to thrive and work on their academic skills to close the gap.

The chairs will be used as an option of seating in the classroom. The Versatiles math resources, will help us work on our math skills using our brains AND hands, which will help us learn easily!

Being able to be comfortable while learning/working is very important (even for us, adults) so my goal is to bring them an enjoyable place to sit that will be a great add on for our classroom.

Thank you for considering our class.
