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

Hello!

Welcome!

Thank you so much for your consideration and time. We are a class of 26 students that are in the need of some supplies to help make our last year at elementary school a cherished memory!

Students want a couch along with a carpet in the classroom because it provides a comfortable, relaxed seating option that can enhance their focus and engagement during lessons, particularly when paired with flexible seating arrangements. Having these as options also allows them to choose a setting that best suits their learning style and energy levels, potentially leading to improved concentration and collaboration with peers.

Providing snacks to students is beneficial because it helps maintain their energy levels throughout the school day, allowing them to focus better in class, improve cognitive function, and prevent hunger-related distractions, ultimately leading to better academic performance.
