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

The pulling and pushing of the chairs are not only destroying the floor but it is also a major distraction in the class and for other classes nearby by placing the tennis balls on the feet of the chairs as students move in and out of their seats, this will reduce the noise made. This will provide less distraction in the classroom and promote a quieter learning experience.

By placing the tennis balls on the chairs will also reduce damage to the floor, this will benefit the school as they will spend less time buffing the floor to remove the marks made by the chairs and students will be able to concenrate more on thier learning with a noise appropriate level classroom.
