Flexibility for Greater Focus

Help me give my students the flexibility of seating. Good seating choices leads to better focus. These portable lap desks will allow my students to find a spot in the classroom that will allow them to be productive.

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 Students

As a teacher in a Title I school, I find that my students face many challenges in and out of the classroom. The majority of my students receive free lunch. A large portion are also English language learners.

Despite the many obstacles these students face, they are always ready and willing to learn.

They work very hard and are eager to succeed in all areas. I am so proud of the work ethic and perseverance that these students show day in and day out.

My Project

Flexible seating is more than just a fad. Giving students the choice in where they do their work allows for more productivity. Students are able to work in a place that gives them the greatest chance of succeeding.

Using these portable lap desks will allow the students to make choices that will enhance their learning.

Give them freedom of choice allows for more engagement in their work. Seating choices leads to greater motivation to do well so that they can continue having seating choices. Giving students the chance to be comfortable while working will lend itself to creating an amazing classroom environment.
