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

Creating a comfortable environment for pupils is crucial to inspiring them. They pick a place in the classroom to work in during individual work periods. When learning, students will make wiser decisions, be more involved, and do more work than when they are merely sitting at their desks. Students can manage their own education with flexible seating. In my classroom, students will have access to a range of furniture, including round and square tables, seats, and stools. Students who want to work while standing can use stand-up desks. a comfortable setting for reading. The area rugs produce a cozy, inviting atmosphere. In comfort, we all perform better!
