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

Potential donors, I have to be absolutely real about something. I would make my fire inspector grandfather roll in his grave if he could see what we are doing with all the cords in my classroom. All of the chromebooks have cords, the headphones, the printer I was generously donated, the mice for testing season. It all looks like someone is playing a terrible joke on anyone trying to retirive their specific item.

It honestly looks like a robotic eagle is making a home out of my classroom tech, so I need to evict the eagle and make it a bit safer.

I'm looking for a computer charging cart, a hanging organizer for all the headphones and computer mice, and a rolling charging cart for the printer and pencil sharpeners.

This would really help me walk the walk of the responsibility I preach about using tech in the classrooms. Way too many times chargers and outlets are getting rammed into by overzealous 10-year olds just trying to put their stuff away to get home or go to PE.

Help me organize my classroom to make it look like a space for learning, not the robotic nesting animals it currently looks like.
