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

If you are able to donate to my class we will be forever grateful!!! My bilingual kindergarten students are bright, imaginative, and determined and they are so loveable and grateful kids! Each day, they rise to the challenge of learning in two languages while adjusting to the routines of school. Despite their enthusiasm, staying organized can be tough—materials often get lost, and transitions take longer than needed. That’s why I’m requesting chair pockets: to give each child their own space to store books, folders, and supplies within easy reach.

These seat organizers will help my students become more independent, focused, and ready to learn.

With a clean and structured workspace, they’ll be able to transition quickly between activities and spend more time engaging with lessons. My goal is to create a calm, organized classroom environment that supports learning, builds confidence, and helps every student feel successful. These simple tools will make a big difference for young learners who are working hard every day to grow academically and socially.
