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

Good Afternoon, I am writing to request the purchase of alternative seating for my classroom, I believe it could significantly benefit my students. Research has shown that offering a variety of seating choices can have a positive impact on student's learning experiences and overall well-being.

For example, alternative seating can increase student engagement by providing students with a choice of seating, allowing them to select an option that suits their individual learning style and comfort preferences.

This can increase engagement and attentiveness in the classroom. Another benefit is that alternative seating can improve focus. Some students may find traditional desks and chairs uncomfortable or restrictive. Alternative seating, such as standing desks, stability balls, or wobbly stools, can help students stay focused for longer periods. These are just some examples of the benefits of alternative seating, which I feel will engage my students and improve their academic performance.
