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 want my students to be given a choice of where they will learn best. Is it better for them to sit on a wobble stool? Or on the bouncy ball? What about in the front with a lap desk? Sure! By giving them voice and choice, they will feel like a valued and respected member of our classroom. Flexible seating will allow them to better read, write, work on assignments, work collaboratively, and reflect at the end of the day. These past school years was proven to be a successful one thanks to our flexible seating! Help us revamp our flexible seating classroom.
