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

I am a media librarian and STEM teacher that teaches in an urban Title I school with a population of over four hundred students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. My students come from diverse backgrounds and the majority are from low-income households.

I'd like the sofas to be for students who need a safe space.

The sofa chairs will create a more comfortable and inviting space for student learning. These sofa chairs will be the perfect safe space when kids need to take a break to refocus or a safe space to chat with me about a struggle they may be having on their STEM projects and work on their social emotional well-being. I want my students to feel comfortable while learning my classroom!
