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

As a passionate teacher, I strive to create a fun and engaging classroom where my students can collaborate and learn from one another. Right now, I’m facing a challenge with our individual desks, which take up a lot of space and make it tough for us to work in small groups. By switching to tables, I can create a flexible, inviting space that encourages student teamwork and interaction.

These new tables allow us to easily set up small group activities catering to different learning styles.

Students can gather around the tables, share ideas, and help each other on projects. Plus, the ability to rearrange the tables will allow us to quickly adapt to various activities, from math stations to reading groups. It's all about fostering a collaborative environment where every student can feel engaged and successful.

Your support in providing these tables will help me create an inviting space that promotes learning and friendship among my students. Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in my kids' futures!
