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

If you have ever tried to sit and listen to a lesson that you are struggling to understand in the most uncomfortable seats, then you can connect to my students and understand their need for this project! I am looking to purchase wobble seats to help my students encourage movement in order to actively participate and engage in class instruction. When we talk about learning and understanding, we want to ensure that everyone is included in the verb learning.

All students deserve that chance to be actively engaged in learning, understanding, and participation within a classroom.

I want nothing more than for all students to feel safe and comfortable within my classroom.
