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 fidget seats provide students with a comfortable place to sit throughout the day. By redirecting their energy, my students will be able to focus on their studies.

With these seats and tools, students will be able to move freely and experience body sensations.

Students will use the cushions during carpet time and even while sitting on their regular chairs. They will be able to move their bodies and redirect their energy while continuing to learn. If they require extra stimuli, they will be able to use some of the fidget toys quietly at the calming corner.

The seats and fidget tools allow students to move freely without disrupting the learning environment.

Thank you again for considering donating!
