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 Students

I teach in a kindergarten classroom. My students are thoughtful, caring, empathetic learners. Each and every one of them enjoys learning. I want to be able to provide my students with all that they can to succeed. I am incredibly lucky to work with such an amazing bunch!

My Project

These flexible seating options will help my students feel a sense of choice when it comes to their learning. During independent work time, students will have the choice as to where they would like to learn in the room.

It is my hope that by bringing these materials into the classroom my students will feel comfortable and this will motivate their learning even more.

I have noticed the difference it makes when students have the choice for how they would like to learn.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! These items are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
