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

These pre-cut tennis balls are meant to improve the comfort of students sitting at desks and chairs that may otherwise wobble and cause unnecessary noisy distractions. It would be a very huge help and very much appreciated to have any support at all for this project.

My incoming second graders would benefit from this project, as well as all second graders who enter my classroom in the future.

I can easily wash them each year and attach them to chairs and desks every new school year. Thank you for taking the time to read this project!
