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 classroom is full of amazing, diverse learners, including students with IEPs and those learning English as a new language. Each one has unique needs, and small group instruction is key to helping them grow. Right now, I’m making do with regular desks, but it’s not ideal for close, focused teaching. A kidney table would allow me to sit with small groups, provide targeted support, and build strong connections. With your help, I can create a space where every student feels supported, understood, and empowered to reach their full potential.
