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

It is that time again - time to test (sad sad sad). Soon, my students will spend several weeks behind their computers being tested on their knowledge and abilities to use the technology. To make this time a little easier I want to make our classroom "more breathable".

My students deserve calm and clean environment that will encourage them to focus.

The light covers will transform our strong fluorescent lights into warm lighting that is easier on eyes and mind. The alcohol pads will be used to wipe down the headphones my students need to use and share. The Clorox wipes will be used to wipe down the desks, chairs and computers. The large storage boxes will securely protect the headphones and other material from moisture or dust. And the markers just make everyone happy and we are running out of the working markers. All of these items will be used throughout the year, beyond testing.

Thank you so very much for considering to support my students!
