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

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. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more! All of these supplies will help them with their love of learning and continue to support them in the classroom. This would be life-changing to their learning journey and everything is deeply appreciated
