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

The items I have on my list are items all students in the classroom will use almost daily. The caddies will help students stay organized and less distracted. Having a caddy on each desk will allow students to borrow the materials they need and do so without getting up and disrupting the entire class. My sharpener I've had since my first day of teaching decided to quit working this year.

In my math class, we utilize cross curricular methods and include art in our assignments.

I would love for my students to have a color pencil friendly sharpener!

My students come from all over the city and had to be accepted into this school. They are some of the most talented humans I know and some of the hardest workers!

Mrs. Riley will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 14.
