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

As a new teacher, I’ve quickly learned how much the classroom environment affects the way students learn and engage. My students are energetic, creative, and each one learns in their own unique way. I love how curious and open they are to trying new things, and I want to create a space that supports that. Flexible seating will give them the freedom to choose where and how they learn best, promoting focus and comfort. Storage solutions will help keep our space organized and calm, making it easier for everyone to stay on task and feel at home.
