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 a great option for students instead of sitting in a chair all day. These flexible seating perch stools allow my students to sit in two different ways. The forward seating slope accommodates a range of heights and promotes core engagement. They will be used everyday at my back table during small group time. The current stools we have are pretty old and were passed down to me from a previous teacher so they are starting to bend on the legs.

This TPT giftcard will help me purchase resources for my students every month.

I plan on buying early finisher packets that match every month's season/holiday. They can be used for students who finish their work early or I can use these resources as review for my students. I also plan to find other resources on TPT to help my students' learning.
