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
My goal for this project is to create a classroom that fosters excellence by focusing on three essential areas: ACT preparation, a clean and organized learning space, and collaboration among students.
As the ACT is a critical component of college admissions, I want to ensure that all of my students are fully prepared for this important test with the right resources, practice materials, and structured study plans.
A clean and organized classroom is essential for a productive learning environment. By ensuring our classroom is tidy and welcoming, students can focus better, feel more comfortable, and be inspired to take ownership of their learning.
Collaboration is key to developing strong critical thinking and communication skills. I aim to foster an environment where students can work together, share ideas, and support one another.
The standing teacher desk will allow for greater mobility around the classroom, allowing me to interact with students more effectively and create a dynamic learning environment.
Your generous support will help us provide the materials and resources needed for ACT prep, a cleaner and more organized classroom, and tools to encourage collaboration. With your help, we can make our classroom a place where excellence is not just encouraged, but achieved.
Thank you for investing in our students’ futures!
We can create an environment that empowers students to excel academically and grow as individuals. Thank you for being a part of this journey!
