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 love the individuality and the various personalities that each day brings a new adventure. The items that I have requested will help our students to benefit with their individual educational needs. The items like the standing desk, stationary bike and foot cushions will help keep the students that require flexible seating engaged in learning while meeting their need to move, These items will also assist me with keeping their focus and their ability to stay engaged with the task at hand. The vacuum will help us keep a healthy clean learning environment while teaching basic life skills.
