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 stools will create a flexible and comfortable seating arrangement, allowing students to engage in collaborative learning without feeling confined to traditional desks. This improved seating setup will help students focus better during group activities and foster a more relaxed and open environment, which is crucial for both mental health and active participation.

My goal is to create a learning environment that supports both academic growth and mental well-being.

By providing stools, I aim to offer flexible seating that encourages students to move freely and collaborate more effectively. This project also seeks to reduce anxiety, increase engagement, and improve overall classroom dynamics by promoting a more comfortable space for students to learn and grow.

What makes my students special is their commitment to improving, even when the material is difficult. They each bring unique talents, perspectives, and life experiences into the classroom, which enriches our discussions and activities. Despite the challenges they face, whether academic or personal, they show resilience and a genuine desire to succeed. Their ability to lift each other up and collaborate makes them a remarkable group, and it’s inspiring to watch them grow both as individuals and as a team.
