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

As a first-year teacher, I strive to make my classroom a space in which all students can feel comfortable. I also want students to feel a sense of belonging and ownership over the classroom space. This is why I am asking for your help to get my class more flexible seating options. My students are so creative and have too much energy to be confined to a desk. The kids are wonderful and make the best out of sitting on the floor or our small carpet, but I would love to get them more comfortable options so that they can do their best work. Thank you so much for your consideration!
