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 have seen a change in needs in my classroom over the last decade. I have started to create a semi-flexible seating classroom to help meet the needs my students have.

This project would help give students with sensory needs more choice in seating/ movement.

I want all of my students to feel comfortable in their learning environment and this project would help them. When they need quiet and calm they could use the headphones, when they need to move while working theses wave chairs or bounce chair would help.
