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

By donating to my project, you will not only help to improve and increase students attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement by creating a safe environment that is calm and full of love and support! Our goal is to create an environment where all students fell safe and comfortable with their new flexible seating. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where they are going to work when they are feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
