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

Hello!

I am a teacher in a Title 1 School and I would love to provide my special education students with some new seating options.

All children should feel at home and comfortable in their classroom. These new seats will allow my students to choose where they feel the most comfortable to sit and learn. When students are comfortable, they are able to focus more and engage in the lessons. Flexible seating is especially helpful within self contained, special education classrooms, with students with more social and emotional needs. Please help me provide my students with these new and comfortable seating options, so they can reach their best potential in the classroom. Thank you!
