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 me give my students sturdy, ergonomic chairs to replace our broken ones, ensuring they have a comfortable and supportive environment to focus and learn. My third-grade students are eager learners who bring their energy and enthusiasm to the classroom every day. However, our current chairs are unstable and uncomfortable, which often distracts them from their work and affects their ability to stay engaged in lessons.

With new, reliable chairs, my students will be able to sit properly, stay comfortable, and focus better on their learning.

Whether they are participating in group projects, reading independently, or taking part in hands-on activities, these new chairs will support them in staying focused and involved. The ergonomic design will help improve their posture, preventing discomfort during long periods of sitting, which is crucial for their overall well-being.

I plan to use these new chairs for all classroom activities. During collaborative group work, students will be able to sit comfortably and engage in discussions. For independent reading and writing tasks, they will have a stable and supportive seat to help them stay focused. These chairs will also make our classroom a more inviting and positive space where every student can thrive. Thank you for helping make this a reality for my students!
