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

Our school is a visual and performing arts high school where the majority of our students come from low-income families.

What I love about my students is that they are incredibly creative as young artists and also apply themselves to their academic studies.

They are special because even though they have disabilities, they routinely work hard to overcome the difficulties they face. A recent success in the classroom happened when a student with attention and anxiety challenges was able to use technology to help him focus and successfully organize information when working on a lengthy project and research paper.

My Project

During this pandemic, teachers' homes have been transformed into classrooms.

With the uncertainly of when schools will reopen, I'm asking for a portable standing desk and fatigue mat to increase comfort and the practicability of my at-home teaching environment to virtually support the learning of my students with disabilities.

There are many benefits to have the ability to stand versus sitting all day including an increase in energy, improve mood, and mental focus. In addition, the standing desk will allow me to set up my laptop and document camera securely. The desk will allow me to be more visible to my students during Zoom class.
