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 Students

My students are curious, energetic and ready to learn every day! The school year just started and I can already tell that my students love to read. They are super focused, love to talk about the books they read and go through them really quickly.

Our school is one of the highest performing in Richmond, CA serving some of the most underrepresented and underprivileged students in the area.

Our community's success depends on our students' strong literacy skills, and I am so excited and proud of all the skills I see in my students so far.

My Project

Reading is a daily activity in our class, and I would love to enhance my students' reading experience by allowing them a variety of flexible seating options. Traditional desks and chairs can be very restricting for some of my more active students, so the mats and comfy floor seats would allow them to spread out and stretch, thus enhancing their focus. By having comfortable seating options like the square floor cushions and laundry baskets with pillows, students will feel secure enough to tackle any reading challenges that come their way. By choosing their seating, students will also feel empowered and a sense of responsibility for their learning.

We have already discussed and practiced how to find the "perfect reading spot," but there are only so many spots (carpet and independent tables) that I can currently offer my students.

My students are ready to take charge and be independent in their learning. By donating to our project, you will not only help improve my students' ability to focus and take risks in their learning, but you will aid in bringing our classroom one step closer to being accessible for students of all learning needs!
