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 kindergartners have recently started the school year and, for more than half of them, this is is their first time ever being in a classroom. As excited as they are to be in the classroom, full day kindergarten is an incredibly long day for them and, in result, many of my students struggle staying seated to prolonged stretches. Moreover, due to their social-emotional development, they are full of the wiggles! Sensory seat cushions will help support my students to stay in their seats longer during instructional blocks, while allowing them to keep focus in the classroom.
