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

My students are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students with various disabilities. My students currently have issues with the noise level. I would like to provide them with seating appropriate for them, so the noise level is to a minimum.

My Project

I have several students that are sensitive to noise levels, and I need to cover the leg chairs with tennis balls. I also need them to feel safe when they sit in the chair that is comfortable for them to do school work. Our students have different disabilities that range for moderate to severe, and as a teacher, we want to make it as comfortable as possible for them want to come to school.

This can help my students have a better working environment, and I can meet their individual needs.
