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

Hi! I am a first year teacher! I am requesting all these things to try and ensure that my students have a comfortable learning environment. I want my students to feel loved and welcomed within our classroom.

I would like to make it so that my students have a second home within our classroom.

That is part of the reason why I am asking for flexible seating, this way students can rotate how they sit.

I am asking for the materials and manipulative for my students so that they have enough to work with and learn with.

Please help me support my 5th grade classroom!

Ms. A Beech Tree Elementary School Grades 3-5
