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 noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them.

During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them.

Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. The comfy floor seats and the beanbag chair will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.

Research shows that flexible seating increases student motivation and encourages collaboration, movement, and choice—especially important for learners who benefit from sensory input or alternative seating arrangements. With your help, we can transform our classroom into a space that meets each child where they are and supports their growth.

Every donation makes a difference. Your support will directly impact students’ daily learning experience and help ensure all learners can thrive.

Thank you for considering a contribution toward this goal.
