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 work at a Title 1 school where all of my students qualify for free lunch. Our school is also considered one of the most diverse schools in our district with over 15 languages.

My students need an organized classroom where they can access their supplies in an easy way.

I don't want them to have a disorganized classroom just because our school is in a low economic neighborhood. They deserve the best classroom.

They can easily see where their math manipulatives will be. The clear storage bins will also make it easy for them to see where all their supplies are that they use on a daily basis.
