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

We have all been there, in a medical office, a gym, a board room, where there is harsh overhead lighting. It is hard to focus and headache inducing. I hate it, and my students hate it too. I am always trying my hardest to dim lights or use natural light to help us focus better during the day.

I would love to be creative and add more ambient light to the room.

Help me get make my classroom more comfortable and inviting with LED light covers and some string lights!

I have also included in this project a class set of clipboards so that my students can work in the hallway or outside as well as more pencils. I ALWAYS need more pencils.
