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 come from a variety of backgrounds and unique home situations where sometimes school may be their only safe and comfort place. Our school represents a large group of low-income students that would benefit from having flexible seating. This would allow students to be able to wiggle or move around.

My students are creative and eager to learn.

They bring enthusiasm and curiosity to all activities. They are very grateful and excited when they have new materials that help them learn. I know that if they were to have flexible seating. They would probably be able to have better focus. Please help me make flexible seating possible in my classroom.

My Project

My students need to be able to move around during the day and have flexible seating and having wiggle seats in the classroom will allow for that.

Students will feel empowered by having a choice and control over their environment.

The different types of seats will allow the students to work in multiple spaces. Flexible seating will allow my students to wobble, rock, bounce or stand, which will help with the oxygen flow to their brain. This might lead to more learning in the classroom. Having flexible seating will also help my students to quickly and easily pair up, work in small groups, or discuss as a whole class.
