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 teacher working in an inner-city school, I know firsthand how important the physical classroom environment is to student well-being and engagement—especially for third graders. At this age, students are developing greater independence and curiosity, and they thrive in spaces that feel safe, warm, and welcoming. Having easy-to-move bookcases allows me to adapt the classroom to better meet their social, emotional, and academic needs throughout the year. Whether it's creating cozy reading nooks, quiet corners for reflection, or open spaces for group collaboration.

In many inner-city schools, space is limited and resources are tight and having these caster wheels added to my heavy bookcases would create flexible furniture that helps transform the room into a more student-centered and nurturing environment..

Being able to rearrange the classroom quickly and safely makes it easier to respond to the changing needs of my students without requiring costly renovations or additional space. These caster wheels will create movable bookcases that help build a sense of ownership and excitement in the students; they see their classroom evolve with them, and that encourages a sense of belonging and pride. For children who may not always have stability outside of school, this adaptable, caring environment plays a vital role in their overall success and happiness. Your support in providing this flexibility can make a lasting difference in their learning experience.
