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 are energetic and enthusiastic learners. They are from low-income households but come to school full of rich experiences and are ready to collaborate with their peers.

These energetic 21st century learners need a comfortable place to learn and collaborate with peers.

Flexible seating options give students an opportunity to find a seat that best works for them so they can be productive and successful.

I love teaching my students and cannot wait to give them new seating opportunities!

My Project

My students love to work together in groups and collaborate. They also love to move around and find the perfect spot to work. Giving students flexible seating options will help them get comfortable and focus on their learning and work.

I would love to create a classroom environment where my students can choose their favorite spot to collaborate, read a good book, or create new ideas.

Students collaborate the best when they have a comfortable seating. These lap desks are a great start to creating a more flexible classroom seating environment for my students. I can’t wait to see my students together and I favorite spots.
