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

I currently work at a Title I school where more than 95% of students receive free lunch. My students are creative, tech-savvy and hard workers. However, they come with lots of interpersonal conflicts and social emotional needs.

My classroom used to be a science room, so it is furnished with large tables that provide no individualized space or storage for their books and supplies.

We are in desperate need of desks that allow us to work together while having room for storage.

My Project

If we are able to get desks with storage in our classroom, we could eliminate the various bookshelves that hold books, notebooks and supplies and in turn have more space for movement during transitions. In addition, students would not need to waste valuable instructional walking across the classroom to simply get their materials. These desks will make a difference in our learning since they would reduce the transition time from one subject to the next. It will also cut down on unnecessary arguments that arise from being in a classroom cluttered with extra furniture. Our goal is to learn with less interruptions.
