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 30 low-income, Hispanic students love to learn. In third grade, our rigorous academic schedule requires organizational skills that need improvement. Our Charter School in Chicago is putting an emphasis on organization. These seat organizers would help my students be even more successful.

My students try very hard to stay organized and they understand the importance of doing so. Our small classroom and lack of storage space is an obstacle that stands in their way.

We need 30 seat organizers to use each and every day. Students will be able to keep their binders, books, and other classroom materials close at hand. It will maximize learning time due to the fact that the materials are organized and ready at a moment's notice.

You will make it possible for my students to learn organizational skills that will be carried with them throughout the rest of their lives. Students will take pride in their new found ability to keep organized, which will undoubtedly improve their grades. My students will be very appreciative for your generosity.
