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 class consists of 4th and 5th-grade gifted students. Their thoughts are always moving, and so are their bodies. Having them sit in their regular chairs can be quite confining. They keep adjusting in their chairs looking for the right spot to maintain their focus.

Flexible seating will help give my students a variety of options of not just how to sit, but also where to sit.

Some items will allow them to sit comfortably on the floor if that's where they feel most comfortable. Some items allow them to adapt their current chair to be more accommodating. While other items let them sit and use other surfaces in the classroom as their workspace.

Certain children can't just stay seated in a hard chair all day long, please help me provide different options to these bright children to help them reach their highest potential in their own way.
