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 Students

My students come to school energetic and ready to learn every day! They enjoy movement and hands-on activities the most. It is hard for most of them to stay engaged while sitting in a hard, uncomfortable chair all day. They often get fidgety and restless. I would like the opportunity to offer them flexible seating options that will make them more comfortable while they are learning! A comfortable learning environment will lead to more student engagement, which means more success!

My Project

My students come to school full of life and ready to learn! Just like adults get tired of sitting in hard chairs all day, students do too! They need more flexible/comfortable seating options to enhance student engagement and learning. Studies show that students learn better when they are physically active and comfortable. Students are able to bounce on an exercise ball, sit, stand, kneel, etc.

My young students will greatly benefit from having various seating options in the classroom.

Their constant need for movement can be met with these different seating tools. Not only will flexible seating encourage learning independence, it will also allow students to take ownership of their learning style and decisions. These are two very important, yet difficult to reach, aspects needed in early childhood education. These simple tools can greatly benefit my students' school success now, and in the future. My students, their families and I truly thank-you for any donation and help that you provide for our classroom!
