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

My students move fast! They are nonstop learners, movers and growers. We are in desperate need of a new small group table and a new technology cart. Right now I am using a desk that is too small for our technology and it is chaos!

A new technology table would help smooth transition and allow us to keep learning with ease!

The technology cart I am requesting will allow me to organize all the technology components that go into teaching! I will no longer have to move a computer, projector or document camera so that students can see the lesson!

I have also requested a bigger small group table. Fifth graders grow so much throughout the year! A new table will allow more students to work with me in small group. This will help me meet the diverse needs of my students.
