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

As many of you may know I have taught elementary school special needs students for the past two years. This year I would like to provide them with a range of seats in our classroom instead of our basic school chairs.

Many of my students can become fidgety and restless in their seats, making them less engaged and focused with their learning.

This year I want to change that and one way I can is with our seats. With the variety of seating provided from this project, my students can fidget around and still engage in all our lessons!
