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

These items will enhance the organization and functionality of our classroom, which is essential for productive learning. The organization items will help us keep our classroom neat and organized, making it easier for students to access resources. The cushions will create a cozy reading area, providing an inviting reading space. The magnetic tiles/blocks will support our STEM projects, helping students explore critical problem-solving skills in a hands-on way. My students are enthusiastic learners who thrive when given the tools and resources they need to succeed. These materials will help them grow academically.
