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

I love that my students are enthusiastic and always ready to explore. They love to learn using hands-on activities and are always eager to engage in interactive activities. I teach in a Title I district, and most of my students come from low-income households.

My Project

All of my students are always ready to explore new ways in which they can learn. Providing flexible seating options will encourage them to feel comfortable and focus on learning. One of my students' favorite time of the day is story time. These seat cushions with handles provide the perfect seating for gathering around in our classroom library to listen to the story being read. I feel that these cushions provide the perfect space that my students need to seat and are easy to clean and sanitize daily, which is very important for a safe classroom that leads to learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
