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

Help me give my students the prepared and calm environment they need to focus and learn.

Having magnetic ceiling light covers will help to calm our ceiling's bright lights and give our students a calmer atmosphere.

We are excited to replace our color printer to create colorful research displays and create Montessori language materials for our classroom.

We are also excited about the opportunity to have classroom supplies such as pencil sharpeners, privacy folders, and markers to support our daily learning. All of these materials will really make a difference in our classroom.
