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

My students are a constant source of inspiration! Their curiosity is boundless, and their energy is contagious. They thrive when learning becomes an active experience, engaging their minds and bodies. That's where these balance ball seats come in!

Imagine a classroom where wiggles aren't a distraction, but a way to fuel focus.

By sitting on these bouncy seats, students can engage their core muscles, improve posture, and constructively release excess energy. This will allow them to concentrate better, retain information more effectively, and participate more actively.

Our goal is to create a dynamic learning environment that caters to all learning styles. With your help, these balance balls will become a cornerstone of that vision. We want our students to feel comfortable and empowered to move while they learn, transforming wiggles into opportunities for success!
