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 Students

My students are vibrant, full of life and crave new and fun resources every day! Almost all of them come from very low income homes in East Harlem where they do not have access to books and other things necessary for educational success. Often, their families cannot afford to give them what they need and desire. I love my students and they are my inspiration. They deserve the world and I know with your help, we can give them that!

My Project

As a second grade teacher in Harlem, many of my students suffer from a variety of learning disabilities, attention disorders and emotional disturbances that create difficult learning environments. They often cannot sit still during an engaging math or reading lesson on the floor and they crave the ability to be able to move while also staying stationary and learning. These wobble chairs and low to the ground chairs and would be the perfect addition to my classroom. My kids are everything and they deserve more than they have be given. These flexible seating options will create a safe and hospitable learning environment. Please help us wiggle while we learn!
