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

The items I’m requesting will give my students more flexible seating options during independent work time, thus furthering their learning, because they feel comfortable in their classroom. Flexible seating helps avoid disruption, because students have options on where to sit instead of always being forced to sit at their desks. During social emotional learning, my students are only able to use crayons right now, and they often ask if I have any markers. Finally, please help me in incentivizing my students using small rewards like candy and snacks the rest of this year.
