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

Organization is the key to success in a kindergarten classroom! Students find comfort in knowing where things go and how to find the items they need. This communication center will to allow us to better store our mail each day and pass back papers with ease. Right now it is impossible to keep everything well organized because our paper mailboxes are falling apart.

We are proud of the work we do in kindergarten and it stinks when our beautiful work gets crushed!

With your help, I hope to provide the class with sturdy ways to organize and keep our work safe.
