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

We are a pre-k classroom where many of students are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. They seek different activities to meet their sensory needs throughout the day. With the support of flexible seating , and different sensory activities, will help my students focus and engage more in the classroom.

Flexible seating empowers students to take ownership of their learning when they are allowed to decide where to sit and learn.

Providing flexible seating will allow my students to move around during class time while making learning fun. Flexible seating also allows students to become more self-aware of their seating preference and environments in which they learn best.
