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 allows students to choose a place to work that is best for them. My students love to sit in different places around the classroom during their independent work time. Right now, they are sitting behind bookshelves, on stools, and in a bungee chair. I would love to give them more options of places to sit!

My students love to sit on the floor, so the floor seats would be helpful in giving them a comfier place to sit.

They also have a lot of energy so will benefit from the wiggle stools.
