Celebrating 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
Every student learns differently, and I want to create a classroom that supports those unique needs. Flexible seating options allow my students to choose where and how they work best—whether it’s on a wobble stool, floor cushion, or standing desk. These options help them stay engaged, focused, and comfortable throughout the day.
To make our learning space even more inviting and effective, we’re also in need of fun, motivational privacy folders.
These aren’t just for testing—they help students focus during independent work without feeling boxed in. Bright, inspiring designs can also boost their mood and motivation.
In addition, a paper organizer will help keep materials tidy and accessible, so students can easily find what they need and stay organized. And let’s be honest—who doesn’t love a fun, colorful pencil sharpener that makes classroom routines a little more exciting?
With your support, I can give my students the flexible, engaging, and well-organized environment they deserve to do their best learning every day.
