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

My students are eager to learn and ready to take on the challenges of second grade. They are active and intelligent. They appreciate any new ideas I throw their way.

These flexible seating options will help my students move while still focusing on their work.

Flexible seating helps my students focus better when doing independent work. I plan on using these flexible seats during independent work time such as silent reading, writing, and math. When students are able to move around while learning they are able to focus better.

Even as adults, sitting in the same seat all day long gets boring and tiring. Students feel the same way. I want to provide them with options to do their best work.
