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

I am looking to incorporate flex seating options in my first-grade classroom to support students' different learning needs.

The wobble chairs and cushions will allow my students with learning differences to exert their excess energies while staying seated and focused throughout a lesson and while completing their individual work.

The bucket chairs will offer students a comfortable spot to settle in and get lost in a book.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
