4th Grade Bilingual Classroom

Help me give my students an environment that is comfortable and fun to learn in.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tovares's classroom raised $676

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

The wobble chair, bean bags, and cushions are going to be used for my small group for students to feel more comfortable and for it to be more fun for them to learn. The snacks will be given to students when they are feeling hungry. We use whiteboards for everything, so the markers will be a great addition.

The lamps are to be used to help my kids with sensory needs.

Most of the time the lights are off and a lamp would help with the lightning in the classroom, so the kids don’t feel too overstimulated.

The clock will be used so students are able to see the time at all times and adds color to the classroom.
