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 is important in our classroom because it helps students feel comfortable. This leads to higher engagement in class instruction and keeps them safe. We currently have mostly regular metal chairs, two plastic chairs that are a little wider (and more comfortable), and a mat in our calm corner. Although this offers a few opportunities for some flexibility in seating, having a few more options would create a better learning experience for my students, especially those that need extra supports to stay on task.

The wobble chairs will give students that need movement to be engaged a safe seat to fidget in, facilitating their learning.

Having this seating option will be a relief to the students that dangerously balance their regular chairs on two legs. I can see that they struggle to keep their chairs safely on all four legs because they need movement. The armchairs will be strategically placed around the classroom by our bookshelves and charging stations to give students a comfortable place to read and/or charge their chromebooks. Additionally, I usually have about 25 students from throughout our school who spend time in my class during nutrition and lunch that would love to have more places to sit.
