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
In my classroom, learning is as unique as each of my students. To support their diverse needs, I want to create a cozy, flexible learning environment that empowers them to choose the seating that helps them learn best. Bean bag chairs provide a comfortable, sensory-friendly alternative that allows students to wiggle, shift, and settle in as they explore new ideas, practice skills, and connect with their peers. This flexibility is especially impactful for my students, who benefit from movement and choice as part of their daily routines.
With your support, I can transform our classroom into a welcoming space where every student feels safe and supported.
The addition of bean bag chairs will create inviting, adaptable spaces for reading, group work, or sensory regulation, helping my students feel more relaxed and ready to learn. Thank you for believing in the power of a nurturing, student-centered classroom where every child can shine.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
