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

In a classroom that serves 4th/5th grade students, one of the essential components to student success is our paraprofessional and the frequent collaboration for Fun Friday activities which include additional recess time and art projects depending on student needs. Often, students volunteer to help carry items and supplies around campus to help my paraprofessional, which includes transporting sports equipment for activities on campus.

The utility cart would help my paraprofessional transport needed art supplies for Fun Friday activities to maximize the instructional time needed to complete projects.

The three-shelf cart would allow students to easily transport equipment for fun activities and allow them to build a strong relationship with their paraprofessional. Students love helping my paraprofessional in the classroom whenever they can, which translates to a good work ethic and a strong relationship with staff. While this appears to be a simple request, I have seen how these activities have developed into interests in community service and confidence to become leaders on campus.
