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

A better storage system in my classroom will allow students to be more self sufficient and efficient. Housing their math manipulatives in organized bins will be beneficial because students will be able to grab what they need when they need it. My students are amazing and special! They come to school ready to work and excel in class despite whatever struggle they might be going through. Accommodating my students' needs is my number one priority. I am requesting a 9 Cube Storage Organizer Set, Exercise Balls for flexible seating and a White Board Roll.

When teaching 4th graders, I not only want them to grow academically, but also in a social emotional aspect.

Our morning STEM bins will also be housed in the new cube system. Students will get to pick which STEM activity they would like to use for the morning. This will expand their creativity and get them ready for the day.
