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

I'm hoping to provide some additional seating options for my students so that they can move around the room while maintaining their productivity levels. My students spend most of their days seated in metal chairs and are often seeking alternate seating options. They would enjoy the opportunity to choose their seat type for the day or activity. The stacking stools or floor cushions would offer options.

The headsets would be used during AMIRA time, a program that provides one-on-one reading support but requires the use of a microphone.

Additionally, the games will be used during students' down time on Fridays or after testing as a reward for hard work and meeting goals.
