Help me give my students flexible seating in the classroom! I have added a rug, low chairs, and a table so that they can have a place to work that is different from a desk.

Celebrating 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
I work in a Title 1 school. It is well known that having good attendance increases student success, but sometimes the idea of sitting at a desk all day when you have a lot of other things on your mind, just doesn't seem doable.
My students are amazing young people that want to work hard, but at times, life gets in the way: family, hunger, etc, which means absenteeism is very high here.
Part of making learning a priority is to make the classroom comfortable AND a place where students can work. Having a "living room" workspace with floor seating and desk in the classroom does just that. They would have the flexibility to work at a regular desk or in this space in the center of the room. Having choices for students invites them to work in a space that works for them. Only having desks limits some kids, and having this choice encourages students to come to class.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
