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

This year we are trying out something new with our students. We want students to have every opportunity to enjoy and feel comfortable in their classroom environment while learning. Flexible seating is the practice of allowing and providing many seating options for students. This means having different types of seats like yoga balls, chairs, couches, stools, etc. This also means giving students the freedom to choose where they sit. Research has shown flexible seating improves students' attention and focus. We want our students to feel welcomed and eager to learn in the most comfortable fun environment possible.
