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

The items that I am requesting already have a place in my classroom. I can't wait for my students to be able to use them. The flexible seating will allow for my students to take ownership of the learning and make good choices when picking an independent learning spot. When you give students choices and have them take ownership of their learning, I have noticed they tend to make better decisions. I also really want to have a designated area for the library, and I know this carpet will help in making this happen. It will give my students a space where they can sit down and get lost in their books. The stand-up desk gives my students an alternative to having to sit through longer lessons. As well as give students the ability to work while getting some movement in while still focusing on the academics. Adding these pieces to my classroom I believe will have a real impact on my students learning.

Thank you!
