Celebrating 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
My students come from low-income families and are always so appreciative of everything. I know they would be so excited to see some of our classroom given a new life.
Giving the students new comfortable chairs for group learning at the tables, will allow them to focus more on their work and control their need to wiggle and move around.
The laminating machine and cardstock will allow for easy, long-lasting labeling of grouping and seating arrangement, as well as creating teaching resources for group activities in Spanish. I want my students to wake up in the morning and be excited to come to school. Your help and generosity will help make our classroom a more inviting place for our children to learn.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
