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

Our 3rd-grade class is buzzing with excitement for this school year, and we have a special request to make our learning environment even better: floor cushions for our carpet time! These cushions would transform our carpet area into a cozy, inviting space where students can collaborate more comfortably and engage more deeply with their lessons. Imagine our young learners, gathered together on their soft cushions, eagerly sharing ideas and working on group activities in a setting that encourages both focus and fun.

Comfort plays a crucial role in creating a productive learning atmosphere, and these floor cushions would offer just that.

By donating, you’re not only enhancing our classroom but also fostering an environment where students can thrive together. Your support will help our class feel more at ease and connected, making every carpet time session a delightful and productive experience. Thank you for considering our request and for your continued dedication to supporting young learners!
