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

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, creativity and willingness to learn. It is my mission to provide an environment that supports that in every way. The organizational materials I am requesting, such as the plastic storage bins, will help create a classroom that runs smoothly and will create a space where students can access materials on their own. Whether it's bins for materials, folders for assignments, or shelves for books, every item will help my students stay focused and be more independent in their learning.

I can't wait to create a calm, structured space where all students feel supported and ready to thrive.
