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 second grade and are organized and playful. We are always gathering materials from all over for many different lessons. This year, we need more organization carts, and containers to help store materials. I’m requesting several different organization bins and carts for better management of my classroom materials. My students also need new whiteboards so they can work out math problems and learn in a more hands-on way. I’m also requesting some differentiated seating choices for students. My students are always wanting to do their work around the room, and having nice seating options would make them happy
