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

My classroom is filled with a diverse group of students who bring unique backgrounds and perspectives. My students have boundless creativity and collaborative spirit. They embrace challenges with open minds and work together to support one another.

With your support, we can transform our classroom into a learning environment that fosters both academic growth and a sense of comfort and engagement.

The Colorful Rug, with its vibrant hues, will become a central gathering spot where students can meet for independent reading, group discussions, and collaborative projects. The Floor Chairs offer flexible seating options, allowing students to find their ideal spot during independent work. By incorporating these floor chairs, we can reduce distractions, enabling students to select seating arrangements that keep them focused and engaged.

By providing these resources, I aim to foster their teamwork and encourage them to explore new ideas in a welcoming and engaging environment.
