First Year

Help me give my students a storage cart and decor for an inclusive and safe environment for learning!

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

I am a first year teacher and I am determined to make my first year as amazing as I can. I am trying to create a positive and inclusive learning environment for my students where they are represented. This would be done with flags of their homes and colors that inspire them. I am going to make my classroom as exciting and inspiring as possible, so I really need your help! There is so much a teacher can do, but I am never giving up on my kiddos. Please help me support my classroom and students with a wheeled storage cart and room decor.
