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 working on creating a classroom care closet for my students

In the care closet, students will be able to pick up things they might need like snacks, hair ties, pads, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste, band-aids, cough drops, and any other necessities they might need.

I had a small drawer last year in my classroom where students could get these essentials, but I would like to try to grow it to a closet where students can go for things they might need. I want to make sure all of my students can focus on learning and have their basic needs met.
