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

The goal of this project is to create a more engaging, comfortable, and supportive learning environment for my students. Flexible seating options will give my students the choice to sit in ways that help them focus and feel confident. These resources will encourage active participation, boost motivation, and meet different learning styles. My students are special because of their diversity, curiosity, and resilience. They bring unique perspectives and support each other, making our school environment a warm and inspiring place to learn. These additions will help every student succeed and feel valued.
