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

Now that I have transported and moved my whole classroom to the third floor from the basement, I now want to style and arrange everything properly so that I/the kids can locate things that we need during the day easily.

In part #2 of my grant proposal, I requested two bookshelves but when they arrived, they were much shorter and smaller than expected.

I also left a couple of my shelving units in my former classroom for my colleague--who is a brand new, first-year teacher. So, I am "space deficient".

I am asking for two bookshelves, two cube organizers, and cube organizer storage bins to place all Art materials, tools, and manipulatives in.

These units are much larger and will keep the clutter down significantly!

Thanks for reading!
