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

In our classroom, every student has their own unique learning style. Some thrive in a traditional seat, while others benefit from more movement and flexibility. To help my students stay focused and engaged during lessons, I am seeking donations for bouncy chairs. These specialized chairs allow students to move gently while they work, helping them concentrate and stay engaged without being distracted by the need to move around the classroom.

Bouncy chairs are an ideal solution for students who find it difficult to sit still for long periods of time.

They provide a safe and subtle way for students to release energy and improve focus. With the ability to move and shift their seating, students are better able to stay on task, reducing restlessness and increasing productivity.
