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 am a first year teacher who's classroom is equipped with miscellaneous, discarded hand-me-downs. Similar to the lives of many of the 27 students in my classroom, we are making the most of what we've got. Our current classroom small group table is a pre-k table that I propped on table extenders. It wobbles and moves whenever we are trying to work on it. We are in need of a new table designed for 5th grade students. This, along with the new book sets to build our classroom library will promote the growth of their budding minds!
