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

The rug and bins I’m requesting will significantly improve the learning environment by creating a more organized and comfortable space for students.

The rug will provide a cozy area for group activities, fostering collaboration and making learning more engaging through flexible seating.

It will also create a warm, welcoming space where students can gather for discussions or independent reading.

The bins will help keep the classroom organized, ensuring that students have easy access to materials while promoting responsibility and independence in managing their learning space. Together, these items will enhance both the physical and mental space for effective learning.
