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

Being a city school, most schools in the area don't tend to have any type of central air. I already have two fans in the classroom but unfortunately it doesn't reach everyone. Adding this fan will add more comfort to our classroom.

We might not see it but a comfortable classroom needs some air flow so kids can learn to the best of their abilities.

Things like snacks also help the students become comfortable in class and don't have to think about a basic need. Finally, I think it is important for them to practice organizing their materials at a young age to make them successful in the future.
