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

A writing lab should provide students with an adaptable and engaging environment that fosters creativity and productivity. This space will be designed with flexibility in mind, allowing students to choose how and where they work best, whether they are collaborating with peers, brainstorming in a cozy seating area, drafting at a standing desk, or revising in a quiet nook.

The stackable stools I am requesting will be essential in creating a versatile writing lab.

Their lightweight, durable design allows students to easily move between different zones, adjusting their workspace as needed. Since they stack neatly, the space can quickly transform opening up room for peer workshops, group discussions, or independent research. The lab will become a dynamic and inspiring place for learning.

The goal is to establish a flexible writing lab with distinct zones designed for different writing activities. Students will have seating options that cater to both collaborative work and independent writing, allowing them to select the environment that fits their needs. The space will be easily reconfigurable to adapt the layout for activities such as peer workshops, research sessions, and brainstorming exercises. Ultimately, this lab will provide a comfortable, inspiring atmosphere that motivates students to express their ideas freely and refine their writing skills.

My students are thoughtful, creative, and eager to share their ideas. They thrive when given the freedom to choose their workspace, whether they’re participating in lively discussions or seeking a quiet spot to focus. This writing lab will offer them the flexibility to develop their writing in a way that feels natural and engaging, allowing them to grow as writers and thinkers. By supporting this project, you are helping to create a space that will inspire generations of students a flexible, comfortable, and innovative environment where young writers can think, create, and grow.

Mrs. Velazquez will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 12.
