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

Our classroom thrives on engaging, hands-on learning through project-based activities, but staying organized is a challenge within the classroom. We are requesting a toy organizer and a bookshelf to store and easily access our educational materials, from manipulatives and building sets to books and art supplies. With these storage solutions, our students will be able to find and return materials independently, fostering responsibility and efficiency.

Our goal is to create a well-organized environment that maximizes learning time and encourages students to dive into creative projects without the distraction of clutter.
