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

In our second-grade classroom, staying organized is key to learning and growing. My students need containers to keep their pencils and colored pencils in one place so they can focus more on their work and less on searching for supplies. These tools help them build responsibility, stay prepared, and take pride in their space.

Magnets to label lockers and cubbies will help students easily identify their belongings, while shared table containers will make it easier for groups to access and communicate about materials.

With your help, we can build a classroom that supports independence, teamwork, and a love of learning.
