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 creative, critical thinkers who are quick to rise to a challenge.

They deserve the best and that is what I strive to give them.

They are endlessly funny and fiercely independent.

98% of my students come from poverty; 40% of my students are special education; 100% of my students are creative, dynamic thinkers who are excited by ideas and debate. They love to write, to draw and to create; to solve problems and generate solutions.

My Project

My students have very stressful lives. Outside of the fact that they are middle schoolers trying to figure out where they fit in an ever-increasingly complicated world; they go through so much more outside the walls of our schools.

I recently asked them what I could do to make them more comfortable in the classroom - they all wanted more comfortable seats, less harsh lighting, and areas of the room to escape and be alone if they needed it.

This project focuses on the seating. If you have ever spent more than one period in a student desk, you know. They are so uncomfortable - and the kids are told to sit down ALL THE TIME! With these products I can give my students options. Those who prefer desks can sit in more comfort with the chair cushions. Those who want to sit on the floor can. We have bean bag chairs, but need a rug and lap desks to be able to really use them well.

Help me create a classroom that will let my students breath a little easier. They need it.
