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 am requesting funding for four adjustable floor seats for my 5th grade students in math class. These seats will be used in our library/ calming corner when students need time away from their desk to work collaboratively with others in a small group or even independently when needed. These seats will adjust based on each student's posture and needs, while having fun and welcoming colors. The students will be motivated to work hard when they are able to get a chance and the choice to have this flexible seating option.
