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

Thanks to my previous Donor's Choose project, I was able to obtain a couch and coffee table for my students who enjoy playing board games with one another during their free time. Our school will be transitioning to a phone-free environment in the next few months, and I believe making my classroom more comfortable and conducive to socializing will make the transition easier for us all. I am looking forward to the positive impact that reducing cell phone time will have on my students and our learning environment. The additional furniture I am requesting will allow me to create an even cozier space for students to engage with one another through games and art.
