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

My class of approximately thirty 3rd graders needs your help to channel their wiggles into learning!

Flexible seating is a wonderful way to diversify the learning environment and increase productivity.

With your help, I hope to provide a unique selection of seats! Being an 8-9 year old can be tough sometimes, especially when it comes to maintaining focus during class. I want to be able to provide a wide variety of flexible seating options so that they can find a space that fits their needs at that time. These options will mostly be used during independent reading and small group instructions, and of course when ever a kiddo feels that they need to switch it up!
