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

Looking to get some classroom basics for all of my students to use. I think that the stapler is needed for my classroom so student can more easily attach work together before being handed in. The two pencil sharpeners are to replace current sharpen that is on its last leg and may start to become unsafe for my students to use. and the power cord / surge protectors are to charge students iPads as they often forget to charge them at home.

I am requesting these average products to add more "self help stations" around my room.

My thought is that if I can have more places around my room where the students can help themselves do basic tasks then they would not even have to ask me as they can be conveniently located closer to major flow areas of the classroom and my students can start to be more self sufficient and not interrupting the class for simple requests.
