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

Thank you so much for taking time to read about our classroom project! The closet will be utilized to store students devices so that they don't damage them or have to carry them around all day.

Devices are heavy and these kids have enough on their shoulders, my goal is to help lessen that load for them.

Especially students who do extracurricular activities, they have sports equipment, instruments, textbooks, and so many other things they have to be responsible for. The kidney table will also be used as a tutoring table, to help students academically but to also feel a sense of not being alone, instead the teacher only being able to help one student, the kidney table enables us to help more than one student at a time. Anything helps and will be beyond appreciated and utilized. Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
