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

We live in constant movement and excessive stimulation that creates a need in many of our children. Our students face challenges including staying focused. They require tools to increase success and performance.

The goal is to make learning fun and engaging by allowing flexibility in their seating options.

It is a controlled movement with a purpose. Reaching the diversity in my classroom population is key to building a strong environment with students flourishing and developing their skills to their full potential.

The students will have an option to release the stress and anxiety that a classroom can bring.
