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 Students

My school has five hundred and twenty-seven students and is a Title I school!

My little ones are full of energy and are ready to learn!

My students are always eager to want to know and learn more! They ask many questions, they talk a lot, they are curious and so much more! We are discovering, learning manners, social skills, academics, and tons more!

Most of our students are English language learners and the majority of our students qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program.

My Project

I would like to obtain storage organizers for our first grade classroom, please!

Organization is important skill to learn and to have in a classroom to keep our classroom running smoothly!

I want to organize our science and math games, materials, and manipulatives. I would also like to organize our colored paper and our centers’ materials and assignments.

I want my students to learn how to obtain materials on their own so in order to do that I want things to have designated area to storage different materials for different subjects!
