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

I will place the six wobble chairs in my small group table. The students will use the wobble chairs when they are working with me in small group instruction, allowing them to release the need to fidget around but also stay focused.

Surprisingly, research has shown improvement of focus while providing better posture for the students.

The students will be more engaged in their learning. They will be able to sit and rock freely while they are working in a small group setting.

Additionally, these chairs do not take up much space so it is a great addition to the classroom.
