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

I love my students for their curiosity, resilience, and the unique perspectives they bring to learning, especially in math. Every day, they show up with questions, creativity, and a willingness to take on challenges, even when the concepts feel tough. What makes them special is their eagerness to learn and their determination to grow, not just academically, but as thoughtful problem-solvers.

By adding comfy seating to our study corner, we can create a more welcoming and relaxed environment that encourages focus and collaboration.

Math often requires deep concentration and persistence, and a cozy, inviting space helps students feel at ease and more open to tackling complex problems. When students are physically comfortable, they're mentally more ready to engage. These seats will support small group work, quiet reflection, and peer tutoring, giving every student the chance to thrive in a space that feels like it was made for them.

Creating this kind of environment sends a powerful message: that their comfort and success matter. And when students feel cared for, their confidence grows and so does their love for learning math.
