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

My students are in need of some comfortable chairs to keep them motivated for learning!

The desk chairs will be used at tables for small groups and for students who need a comfortable chair to learn in.

The mailboxes are necessary to keep materials and home folders organized. My Dual Language students switch classes daily so having a mailbox to keep materials in is a must.

Students need to be able to have their own space to keep papers and homework in. This year, students had to share a mailbox and was very confused on whose paper is whose. Having their own mailbox will give students the ability to get the correct mail home to their parents.
