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

The goal of my project is to create a classroom environment, for my 25 third graders, that offers the option of flexible seating. In being able to provide nontraditional seating, my students will get to have some autonomy and choice throughout the day in their learning. Most of my students have difficulty sitting throughout the day behind a desk and many are diagnosed with attention disorders. Flexible seating will provide opportunities for my students to be more comfortable allowing them to focus better. This type of seating will also fulfill the need for sensory input. The intent of this project is to accelerate learning through movement which allows for better focus. I am also hoping to increase my students' emotional and mental health by giving them opportunities to sit and move around the room in order to take control of their own learning.
