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

Having clutter and papers everywhere tends to create a chaotic and stressful learning environment.

I want to provide a clean and organized space for the ideal learning to happen.

The mailbox will help my students organize and house their unfinished work. By doing this it will provide a space for them to find their work in a fast and organized way. Mindfulness books will be used to teach students how to cope with stress and anxieties. The fidgets will give the students a healthy outlet to let out stress and steam when needed.

These tools and resources will help relieve anxieties and worries and just focus on what we do in school, learn and have fun.
