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

Please help me create comfortable and flexible seating opportunities for my students. I teach approximately 500 students over a six year age range. With so many different learning needs, these fantastic materials will allow me to shift and mold my room for every different grade. The students will be allowed to use flexible seating to help with focus, concentration, and involvement. These materials will allow me to create a comfortable reading nook, a cool down zone for students who need a break, and a few optional seating spots when we are reading a story or acting out to play. Thank you so much for your assistance in advance.
