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

The materials that I have requested has a place in my classroom to promote more focus in their learning. If students take charge of choosing the flexible chair they will have a better success rate in their academic. They need a space and a chair that they feel comfortable and can focus on their task 100 percent without distractions or distracting others.

Give the students the chance to take charge of the flexible seating to their academic success.

Some of the materials on this list are floor mats and beanbags chairs. They will be using this when they work in small groups around the floor or when they can’t see and need to move closer to the board. Another flexible seating are the wobble chairs and bounce chair. They can use this in small groups or to replace their chair. This is great for students that need to move as they work and still be able to complete the assignments without distracting others. The wobble chairs that adjust are great for tables that are taller. Students can sit take charge of their learning and even complete their independent work, or move it back to their desks using the same chair by adjusting the height of the sit.

Help support my students by giving them a space with they can choose a their seat to promote their success and learning.
