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

In my new classroom, I want my students to have the choice of where they sit and learn. Learning does not have to happen while sitting at a desk and in a chair.

I want my students to be able to sit around the room on the floor using a scoop chair, rolling chairs or a lap desk while learning in comfort.

The flexible seating in this project will allow this to happen.

I cannot wait to see all of my students around the room learning in a style that is comfortable and not one size fits all but instead allowing for personal choices.
