Cozy Classroom

Help me give my students alternative seating and audio options. They benefit from using audio books to follow along and look for quotes. There are also some students who would benefit from alternative seating.

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 love how my students are super bright and all have different vibrant personalities. In this age of technology, having students explore different reading mediums is important to help them navigate this new technology-filled world. In order to provide an equitable space, headphones and flexible seating would enhance their learning experience.I would love for alternative options for seating arrangements for those that’s need more movement. I would also love to have alternative reading options that they can utilize during class. There are students who need additional help when reading on their own and need headphones to help access the material. Thank you for your help!
