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

Help me give my students a more engaging environment for learning! With storing and organizing supplies, it would be better organized for learning fun!

In 2nd grade there is a lot hard work going on everyday and it is important to be able to store in an organized way materials and classwork.

With these materials (mailboxes, bins, cart, sweeper, pencils, scissors, tape, markers) I believe it would definitely make a difference in our classroom.

Working at a charter school with a lot of low-income students, it is difficult sometimes to have everything they need that it makes them feel excited about school.

Thank you so much for your help!
