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

Implementing a floor carpet for whole group instruction and bouncing ball seats for small group activities can significantly enhance student learning outcomes. The floor carpet serves as a central gathering space, fostering a sense of unity and community among students during whole group instruction. Its soft texture provides comfort, making extended periods of sitting more manageable and enjoyable. This setup encourages active participation, as students feel physically and mentally engaged in the learning process.

On the other hand, bouncing ball seats for small group activities offer individualized support and flexibility.

These seats allow students to move and bounce gently while working, promoting better focus and concentration. By catering to different learning preferences and needs, this combination of seating arrangements accommodates various learning styles and promotes inclusivity in the classroom.
