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

I want to provide alternative seating options, positive reinforcement, and an aromatic environment in order to create a calm and relaxing environment for my special education students.

Your donations will help me implement a variety of enhancements in my classroom, including:

Aromatic Comfort: Introducing calming scents to make my classroom more inviting and alleviate stress for my students.

Flexible Seating Options: Providing wobble seats for students to use if they need help focusing, help with fidgeting, or are dealing with anxiety.

Positive Reinforcement: Using rewards like candy and a token system to motivate and celebrate my students’ achievements.

These items will make my classroom more inviting and comforatable so that my students can focus on builing the academic skills they need!
