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

Funding this amazing project will help students reset when they need a break. My classroom needs some more flexible seating and we would love your help with their reading goals. Students love having different options to sit around the classroom.

Your donations will provide a place for students to learn more effectively.

Research has shown that when you have options to pick where you want to sit the more invested you are in your learning.

According to the website smithsystem.com, Children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean, or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow, and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused.
