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 students are creative, resilient, and eager to learn, despite the challenges they face in our Title I school. They deserve a classroom that reflects their potential and inspires their growth. The ECR4Kids Leaf Floor Seats will provide flexible seating for small group activities, fostering collaboration and focus. Meanwhile, the decorative string lights and ivy garlands will transform our room into a calming, welcoming environment where students feel safe to express themselves.

The lights will also be used during reading and mindfulness activities to create a peaceful atmosphere.

Together, these resources will inspire focus, creativity, and joy, helping my students succeed.
