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 second graders are kind, curious, and eager to learn. They work hard every day and are learning important skills like responsibility, independence, and organization. One challenge we face in our classroom is keeping materials organized. Right now, each student has only one bin to hold all of their supplies, which often leads to papers getting mixed together, lost, or damaged.

Because of this, students can become frustrated when they cannot find what they need, and valuable learning time is spent searching for materials instead of focusing on instruction.

The storage bins in this project will allow each student to have separate spaces for different subjects like reading, math, science, social studies, and small group. This will help students keep track of their work, stay organized, and take ownership of their learning and materials

With a simple and structured system in place, students will feel more confident, transitions will be smoother, and our classroom will run more efficiently. These bins will support both academic success and important life skills that students will use beyond the classroom.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
