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

Students deserve a quiet, safe environment where they are engaged and concentrate on assignments. Students deserve to come to a school every day for over 7 hours to learn in the environment best fit for them.

The headphones and privacy boards will provide a quiet area for students to concentrate while testing or completing an assignment.

This project aims to provide students with a space in which they can excel.

My students are unique because they are eager to learn and engage in the material in numerous ways.
