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

These seating options will help my students redirect their energy so they may be more calm and productive in class. By creating a learning space for flexible seating, the students will be able to use these options as needed so they can calm themselves with they need to and so they may settle themselves if they are having a difficult time in class.

This would be a wonderful way for the students to learn to sense their needs and to make choices that will help them and recenter them.

Thank you for taking this project into consideration.
