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

Flexible seating benefits students by accommodating diverse learning styles, enhancing engagement, fostering collaboration, supporting movement and energy regulation, and promoting a positive classroom culture. This adaptable approach prepares students for future workplaces where they have control over their environment. It provides options beyond traditional desks, allowing students to select comfortable seating that suits their needs, leading to increased motivation and focus. By offering a variety of seating arrangements, such as standing desks, bean bags, or wobble stools, flexible seating creates a dynamic learning environment that promotes individualized comfort and well-being while encouraging active participation and teamwork.
