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 Students

My students are just amazing! Being so young, they are already very eager to learn and grow. The joy on their face when they learn something new is what makes all the hard work of being a teacher worth it. Every day, my students amaze me with how bright, funny and caring they are. They deserve ever tool to help them grow as scholars. Thank you in advance for helping my students reach their full potential!

My Project

During the school year, students need to be able to access their supplies as quickly as possible to ensure they stay focused during learning. At my school, the desks used for my grade level do not have cubbies in the desks. For some activities, I need to store the notebooks/workbooks in another space away from their desks, so my students need to use their precious learning time to go and grab the supplies that they need. During this time, some students may loose focus on the task at hand or they may become distracted by their classmates. Having these chair pockets will make it so that my students do not need to leave their desks to grab what they need and will save them time during the learning day.
