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

I have an amazing group of students, however, my classroom has no cross ventilation and the room is often hotter inside than outside, even during the winter months. Having several quiet Dreo cooling fans spread around the classroom, will greatly impact the learning environment in my classroom. As you are aware, my classroom, particularly during the hotter months, becomes uncomfortably warm, making it challenging for both students and myself to focus and engage effectively in the learning process. With the new academic year set to commence in the middle of August, coinciding with the peak of summer heat, I am concerned about the potential impact this could have on my students' ability to concentrate and learn optimally.

To alleviate this issue and ensure an environment is conducive to learning, I am kindly requesting 3 Dreo Cooling Fans that Blow Cold Air for our classroom.

These would greatly enhance air circulation, providing much-needed relief from the heat and enabling students to concentrate on their studies without distraction or discomfort.

Research has shown that an optimal learning environment significantly contributes to academic success, and I believe that by addressing this concern proactively, we can create a more conducive atmosphere for teaching and learning.

I am confident that prioritizing the comfort and well-being of my students is paramount. Thank you for considering this request. I am hopeful that together, we can ensure that my students have the best possible environment to thrive academically.

Warm regards,

Carolyn Steinzeig
