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 students are always displaying great determination and diligent hard work. We strive to complete STEAM and STEM projects throughout multiple disciplines. Our skill set completes all requirements given by the state and we look forward to achieving national standards. Our students bring life to all projects that we complete.

Students are constantly challenging the boundaries of how our curriculum is based, and challenging how teachers can change the way students learn.

This project will allow our content to bring forth better interdisciplinary content lesson plans.

Our school proudly serves military families, underprivileged students struggling with economic hardships, and a melting pot of diverse racial backgrounds.

My Project

I enjoy giving my students choices. They tend to enjoy learning more when they are given choices. It seems they are invested more when given the opportunity to choose. Students are asked to sit down and not move around in the majority of their classes. Omitting classes like Physical Education and some elective classes, students can be sitting in a hard plastic chair for up to five hours a day. This varied height desk will allow my students to choose for themselves whether they would like to sit or stand while they are being productive. When I saw this product, I knew it was not just for hard working adults. We have students with ADD, ADHD or other types of learning disabilities, and this is just another resource that will help multiple students.

We proudly serve military families, economically disadvantaged students, and a diversity of racial backgrounds.

I am confident this desk will help many of my students get through a long school day. Thank you for your consideration in our project.
