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

This project will be essential to the success of my classroom running smoothly for this upcoming school year with basic classroom essentials!

Classroom basic essentials will keep it running smoothly!

This project is for essential items that will benefit my classroom being organized and running smoothly. We are in dire need of some of these essentials. The automatic pencil sharpener will keep my students' pencils sharp and ready for school work. The laptop riser will allow me to check student data without hurting my wrists. The acrylic containers will keep my writing utensils and other desktop essentials organized and ready for me to grade work and organize our paper supplies, and for my students to easily access papers and reports. Students will be able to find everything with ease and will be able to get their work done without worrying about how to find it or where to put it when completed. The HDMI cord will allow me to connect my laptop to the Smartboard. This will give my students the ability to look at lessons, work directions and objectives, and classroom rotation and schedule. No more guessing, no more writing everything down on chart paper or a dry erase board! My students will definitely have a successful school year with this necessary classroom cord!

My students and I won't be stressed because we can easily find the materials we need.

I appreciate your support and generosity.
