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

Research shows a correlation between the subtle movements that flexible seating allows and an increase in student focus and engagement. This will bring many benefits to our classroom such as focus, student engagement, and increased motivation.

Psychology today mentions that flexible seating can definitely be a win since it helps children not only feel physically but emotionally comfortable and engages them to learn in a way that actually works for them.

Flexible seating makes classrooms more accessible for students, increases student engagement, and opens the room to a variety of learning styles.
