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

These specific items will not only allow my classroom to be neat and tidy but it will allow my students to be able to find their supplies. My goal for this project is to be able to organize my classroom library, get some science supplies, and add a few books for my 1st graders! I am incredibly excited to start 1st grade! Sometimes chaos is something that just happens and having a clean area can relieve some stress. Also, finding a good book to read can help heightened our love for reading and motivate us to grow. I haven't ever had a carpet before! The Rainbow Smiley's Carpet will not be a place for my students to sit on but a welcoming area to help them keep or put a smile on their faces!
