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

Students love an environment where they can feel comfortable. Students will use these seats during an independent reading lesson where they can go and interact with their peers to complete a lesson. Students will benefit from these by being able to be comfortable while learning and having fun. The goal of using these seats is for students to become more motivated in classroom lessons. Students in my classroom come from a low-income community and appreciate everything they are given. Some students only get to experience this in a school setting.

My students would benefit greatly from these floor seats that would create the comforting environment they need!

They will create a loving and friendly atmosphere where students will feel loved while being excited to learn! Thank you!
