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 Students

My students have encountered and conquered many challenges. Many of my students live close to the school which is, unfortunately, in a low socioeconomic part of the city. I am eager to provide my students with a safe and welcoming environment that makes them enjoy coming to school each and every day.

My Project

Were you ever that student who couldn't focus because your seat wasn't comfy? I was and so are my 4th grade students.

A likely cure for loss of focus is flexible seating.

My students could use the help with focusing and I strongly believe that these materials for flexible seating will help greatly with that. My students lose focus during lessons because they aren't comfy and they need to move. These seating options allow for movement for those students who are antsy or uncomfortable. My students would greatly appreciate these options!
