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

Please help create a comfy space for small group learning. My students usually work at a desk but I would like to create a comfy space for small group learning with a small carpet.

My inner city students would love to see a comfy learning space with magnetic white boards, dry-erase markers and a carpet to sit on.

Having a second area for learning would make learning fun. Students could work on this rug independently using the whiteboards and dry-erase markers. Your generous donation would create a safe and comfy space for my students to enjoy learning. Having a small rug and these learning games would add joy to my students learning. We would truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity.
