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

In our dual classroom, students switch between teachers and subjects throughout the day. With all that movement, it’s easy for supplies to get lost or mixed up. Chair covers will help each student stay organized by giving them a personal space to store their materials. This simple solution will save time during transitions and help our classroom run more smoothly from day to day.

Chair covers and construction paper will support both organization and creativity.

While the chair covers keep supplies in place, the construction paper will give students the tools they need to bring their learning to life through hands-on projects. Whether it's for writing crafts, science models, or seasonal displays, having these materials ready means more meaningful and engaging learning opportunities.
