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

Please help me provide my students with materials to help teach them organizational skills. Being organized does not necessarily mean being having the neatest desk, it means knowing where your materials are located.

Teaching my students executive function skills will help them be productive throughout life.

These are skills such as putting your crayons in a box, or filing your papers when done instead of shoving inside the deep dark slot in a desk.

The materials I and requesting will allow my students to practice these skills. I don’t mind if their area is a mess, I believe organized chaos can be beneficial. They just need a place to keep

All their materials so they are easy to access each time they need them.
