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 would like to acquire lap desks and a tablet stand for my classroom. The lap desks would be used by students during carpet time, providing them with a more comfortable and stable workspace for group activities. The tablet stand would assist me during instruction, helping to better display and present content to the class in a more organized manner.

Both of these resources would greatly enhance student engagement and support an inclusive, dynamic learning environment.

I believe that the combination of lap desks and a tablet stand will allow for more interactive and effective lessons, while also fostering greater student participation.
