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 love how curious, energetic, and eager to learn my students are. They come to school each day with big smiles, ready to explore, create, and grow together. Their enthusiasm inspires me to build a classroom environment that is welcoming, organized, and supportive of their needs.

Right now, we are in need of proper storage solutions to help keep our learning materials neat and accessible.

These storage bins will allow my students to easily find and return supplies, take responsibility for their space, and focus more on learning rather than searching for what they need. With clearly labeled, durable bins, our classroom will become a more structured and calming place where students can thrive. This organization will help build independence, responsibility, and pride in their learning environment.
