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

My students are with me for a few minutes daily, so I want them to be as focused as possible. They are reading below grade level, and I am giving them strategies to help them become better readers.

With flexible seating, my scholars will be better equipped to achieve academic success throughout the instructional day!

Giving my students seating options will help them focus and learn when they are with me. My students often fidget when they sit with me during reading time. I hope these cushions will help them focus on being better readers. The storage container will help store the cushions when not in use, teaching my students how to keep our space organized.

Thank you for your generosity and support towards my classroom.
