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 will help my students work comfortably while writing, reading, or doing mathematical tasks. Students are more focused and comfortable when working at these lower tables. It allows them to move more freely and be able to work more effectively. My Kinders are very squirmy and don't really prefer the regular chairs. They will use the felt pens for writing, art, and math!

These will be extremely beneficial for some students who just need to get the wiggles out.

They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor seats will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.

These markers will motivate my students to add detailed pictures to their writing pieces and have fun writing with a flair pen that helps their penmanship.

These items will be used daily and greatly appreciated!
