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

Hello! I’m a passionate teacher dedicated to making my classroom a welcoming and productive environment for my students. To support small group instruction, I am requesting a sturdy and functional teacher desk. This desk will serve as a central spot where I can work closely with students in small groups, providing them with the focused attention they need to succeed.

Additionally, I would love to add decorative table skirts to use as curtains around bookshelves and storage areas.

These curtains will help create a warm, inviting atmosphere while also helping to keep the classroom organized and visually appealing. A beautiful and organized classroom makes students feel comfortable, supported, and ready to learn.

Your support will help transform my classroom into a nurturing space that fosters collaboration, creativity, and success for every student. Thank you so much for considering my project!
