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

With your generosity and philanthropy, my students will receive flex seating which through research has shown to help students achieve their learning targets more efficiently. I will be teaching students with varying exceptionalities at their primary and fundamental years and tools such as the social emotional learning activities and play dough to help spark their creativity will help them learn at such crucial years. The items for storage will help keep the classroom clean and organized so students have a safe and organized classroom to learn in which has also been shown to help learning happen more efficiently. We appreciate your love and generosity for our tiny classroom family, and we cannot wait to show you how these materials have helped us!
