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

Students have struggled more and more with sitting still and paying attention in class, because they could stand and wiggle all they wanted at home during covid learning. These supplies will give my kids the opportunities to succeed as they would have before covid. The wobble stools allow movement in sedentary classes which helps them focus. Headphones will allow kids to hear their individualized lessons without other students being distracted by the noise of computers around them. The spiral notebooks will allow kids to take notes and refer back to them when listening is not enough to retain information; it will also allow them to have "help" with homework when their families are unavailable or unable to help them.
