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

Students are very energetic and have a hard time staying seated for a long period of time. Providing all these materials will allow students to fidget yet still stay productive and on task. The wobble cushions will be used as flexible seating during whole-group reading and math lessons. Desk bands will allow students to bounce their feet and not be a distraction to others around. These quiet fidgets allow students to stay focused while working independently at their desks. When students have these flexible options, it allows them to get their wiggles out but also being able to stay on task and focused!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
