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 am excited to start at a new school, teaching 5th grade.

This project is for items that I need to help organize the space and to help my students be successful.

Anchor charts are very important, especially in math, so the post it charts are much needed in my classroom. We are also in need of a new sharpener, crayon sharpener, and clear organizational bins since my classroom does not have much cabinet storage space. We take pride in our space and having the carpet sweeper will teach responsibility and allow for students to take pride in our classroom space.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
