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 fourth-grade classroom is full of energetic, curious learners who thrive when given choices in how they work best. Traditional desks don’t meet the needs of every student, and I want to create a learning environment where all students feel comfortable, focused, and empowered.

This project will help provide flexible seating options—such as wobble stools, floor cushions, lap desks, and soft chairs—so students can choose spaces that support their learning style.

With these options, students can better manage their energy, stay engaged, and take ownership of their learning. Your support will help turn our classroom into a space where every child feels safe, supported, and ready to learn!
