Help Students Return to School in a More Accessible Space!!

Help me give my students flexible seating to make the classroom more accessible as we return from remote learning. The benches will be used to store our independent reading books and give students a comfortable place to learn.

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

I teach 8th grade English Language Arts and Social Studies in a special education setting. My students are a goofy bunch, but know when it's time to work. They are dedicated to learning and improving.

The class culture is one of mutual respect and care.

I often am amazed by how much my students help and look out for each other. As a teacher, I hope to use this platform to help them get every resource they need and make our classroom an even safer space.

My Project

My students are adjusting to being in a classroom after nearly 2 years of remote learning. They do not have the same stamina to sit at a desk all day, so I am working to create multiple seating options for them to learn more successfully. Also as special education students, they spend almost the entire day in the same room.

By buying these benches I can make the process of learning in one area more accessible and inviting.

These benches will become the pillars of our independent work area, where students can feel welcomed and proud to learn!
