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

Help my scholars choose the tools they need to make themselves comfortable while learning. The cushion seats allow my scholars to read on the ground comfortably during independent time. The noise canceling headphones allow students to ignore distractions and lock in to learning.

Students will explore a variety of tools that help them be comfortable in learning a new language and skills.

They get to explore a variety of tools such as cushion seats, foot peddles to release energy and automatic pencil sharpeners. Help my scholars transition quickly with the best pencil sharpeners in the world. I currently have a line of students wanting to use the automatic pencil sharpener we got with our last donorschoose project. They have been begging me to get another one so we can have one specific for color pencils and regular pencils.

All of these tools help my scholars feel comfortable and ready to learn. Help them in providing tools that they can learn to use to ignore distractions, release built up energy and transition quickly in the classroom.
