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

Currently, my students normally work in groups at their desks or tables. Although they love working in groups, it is often challenging to hear their peers when the groups are sitting right next to each other.

These Comfy Floor Seats and carpet options will allow the students and myself the flexibility to move around the classroom to complete their work.

Some students work better when they can separate and concentrate from others. I can scatter groups around the entire room not just at their desks which would produced more meaningful conversations and effective output of work. Students learn best from their teachers and their peers. Please help us!
