My students need anchors! I would like to paint my walls in my classroom with magnetic paint to turn them into magnet walls where I can post my anchor charts for students to reference.

Celebrating 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.
I work in a middle school that serves the community around them and is also a magnet school. I have worked and taught some amazing students through the years, and have seen growth, maturity, and exploration blossom within these adolescents. Some of them struggle to have meals provided at home, some of them struggle with emotional trauma, some of them have two loving parents, some of them have aspirations to be pilots, some of them don't come to school with supplies, some of them come wearing the latest name brand item, some of them have anger issues, some of them are the sweetest, most kind-hearted individuals you'll ever meet.
I see all walks of life from many economic backgrounds, religious affiliations, ethnic identities, and home environments.
To say I serve a diverse population would be an understatement. I treat all of them as special and know that each and every one of them can meet and exceed their goals.
My Project
I would love to turn my classroom into the most effective room possible, where learning is obvious after stepping one foot through the door. In doing so, I would like to paint my classroom with magnetic paint so that I can easily post my anchor charts that I have for each skill and keep them posted for as long as possible. I have limited space to post, but if the walls were magnets, I could use every square inch of the lateral surface area to make my room knowledge ready.
Anchor Charts have been proven to help with knowledge retention.
I have made it my goal to create better ones every year. Having a place to display the skills with only encourage me to create more and more to help my students. I would also like a dry erase easel to display the essential questions and learning objectives at the front of the room as students enter the classroom. Thank you for your time and consideration.
