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 get my students comfortably sitting while learning how to read, write and do mathematics. Currently, my students sit in chairs that are too big for them and their feet dangle on the floor. I would love to see my students sitting comfortably in order to help with their handwriting as well as it will allow them to concentrate will learning instead of struggling to see what is in front of them. My students are special because they come to school with a zeal to learn and explore.
