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

Hello to all!!! When you read about my projects, I hope you will support my efforts to keep a clean and tidy room.

My little ones have yet to master covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze; we use tissue everyday all day long.

This time of year, we have colds and coughs every day, and each morning I go to work early, so I can sanitize my classroom. I use Fabuloso in a spray bottle with water and clean the tables. Then I use Clorox sheets for the chairs and door knobs. The custodians do a good job, but I go behind them and wipe the toilet seats to insure cleanliness. I use freezer bags for their soiled clothing. I am asking for the bins to hold our supplies. I would like to keep a tidy room. I want to thank you in advance for supporting me and my children.
