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

During our lessons, sometimes we need to move desks and chairs. The sound of desks and chairs being moved tends to hurt everyone's ears, especially some of my students with hypersensitivity to loud noises. I am asking for replacement tennis balls to help with the noise level when there is movement in the classroom. The classroom chairs are moved around daily between our activities or just regular pushing in and out from the desks when the bell rings. The storage baskets will help us stay organized.

I know that the tennis balls really work in my classroom and I hope you can help us get ready for the new school year.
