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

Each year I work to encourage my students to delve deeper into their love of learning. As they see my passion for them, they start to get excited about the fun of learning. Please help my students to grow in their studies this year by supporting our Title One school!

The addition of preferential seating stools will allow students to choose seating that best suits their personal comfort and learning style.

Stools offer greater flexibility in classroom arrangements, allowing students to easily shift positions or move around as needed. This flexibility can be particularly beneficial for collaborative work, group activities, or when students need a change of scenery to stay motivated and attentive.

New notebooks will provide students with high-quality materials to organize their thoughts, take notes, and keep track of their assignments. Well-organized notes are crucial for effective learning and retention of information. By having fresh notebooks, students can maintain better organization, stay on top of their work, and be more productive in their studies.

By investing in these classroom resources, we are fostering an environment where students can focus better, participate more actively, and stay organized. This investment in their comfort and learning tools will contribute to their overall success and well-being in the classroom.
