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 Students
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." ~Nelson Mandela
My students come to school each day ready to learn new things and interact with their friends.
Most of my students are living in poverty. School is a comfortable place in which they know there will be served a warm meal and loved by teachers. Most of my students eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at school. Many of my students face many obstacles at home. Despite all the challenges at home, my students still work very hard every day at school.
My Project
Our class would benefit from having a kidney table in our classroom to be able to conduct small group and one on one lessons with students. A kidney shaped table is conducive to a small group learning environment.
My students will be able to collaborate and stay focused while sitting at a kidney shaped table.
As the teacher, I will be able to meet the needs of my students and my small group lessons will be much more productive.
We currently use a small round table that at times is not big enough for a group of students plus a teacher. Our class will be thankful for any donations that are given!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
