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 want to condition my 5th grade classroom with supply carts, rugs, paper storage, pencil storage, and baskets so my students can navigate easily around the classroom, use and find necessary materials to work with. As well as teach independence, students will know where materials are at, they will independently grab what they need and know where everything is stored and placed near them. Organization is an important part of my classroom as students are able to find what they need easily and know where everything is placed. I am requesting these materials to make the happen. Thank you!
