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

I am looking to diversify the seating options in my classroom for the year. After getting to know my kiddos over the last month, I can now say - wow, those kids wiggle!

Our classroom needs more flexible seating - something that works with their moving bodies!

We also need the open space it will provide in the room so we can spread out and avoid our pals' bubbles! Our friends in class really love that extra walking space, and I'd love to free up some metal chairs for comfier options.

A variety of floor seats, soft benches, and other fan faves fill my project list. We appreciate you!!
