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 students are curious, energetic, and eager to learn. They thrive in an environment that encourages movement, collaboration, and hands-on exploration. To foster their love of learning, I want to provide flexible seating options and engaging toys that support both their academic and social development.

The Need:

Traditional seating can be limiting, especially for young learners who benefit from movement. Flexible seating—such as wobble stools, floor cushions, and balance balls—will allow my students to choose seating that helps them focus and stay engaged. Additionally, interactive toys and learning games will encourage creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, making our classroom a place of discovery and joy.

How Your Support Helps:

With your generous donations, I will be able to purchase:

Flexible seating options to create a comfortable and student-centered learning space

Engaging toys and manipulatives to promote hands-on learning and social interaction

Your support will help create a classroom where students feel comfortable, engaged, and excited to learn every day. Thank you for investing in our future leaders!
