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

What I love most about my students is their diverse range of learning styles and their endless potential for growth. Each child brings a unique perspective and ability to our classroom community.

The ECR4Kids Leaf Floor Seats will provide a comfortable alternative seating for students who need movement to focus.

At the same time, the 3D Printer Filament Holder Rack organizes materials essential for hands-on STEM exploration using our 3D Printer. Our Lakeshore Book Bins will transform our flexible classroom into an organized haven. The 30 USB Wired Mice ensure that every student has equal access to technology resources, developing the critical digital skills they will need throughout their education. Finally, the Safavieh Collection Area Rug will create a welcoming gathering space for meaningful discussions, read-alouds, and collaborative activities.
