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

In third grade the students take a lot of tests that require them to listen, respond and show their learning though the computer. During testing there can be anxiety about testing so having flexible seating can help calm nerves as well as allow fidgeting that is not distracting.

The students are from a poverty stricken homelife where school is there safety.

A lot of studenst do not have support at home academically or even emotionally and rely on school to become the best version of themselves. The students are excited to learn and motivated to be successful.
