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
While my classroom environment is comfortable, I'd like to expand my relaxation/comfortable area from three bean bags to five. My students come to my room during their breaks, before and after school to talk, learn independently or relax in my relaxation corner. Sometimes they sit on top my traditional desks and work, or they put desks together and lay down to read because I do not have enough beanbags. My relaxation area includes a rug, and three bean bags, but I need more as the are is extremely popular with my students.
With these additional bean bags, my students will benefit tremendously physically and emotionally.
My students truly deserve the very best, every day they choose to come to school and get an education. I truly believe they need more space for an area I already provide for them. Thank you for you generosity, in advance.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
