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

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them and get to choose the flexible seating option that works best for them.

The products that I have selected will help my students because giving them additional seating options will encourage them to make more effective learning choices.

These options will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. Some of the options will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.

The possibility of my students being more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work will increase. I have seen how choice can positively affect students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help our classroom grow even more!
