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

My students are an inclusive group of both general education students and special education students who have a range of needs and learning styles. My students are eager second-grade learners who love school!

I believe it is essential to have an organized work space to help foster creativity and independence.

With this project, I am requesting a few organizational supplies and basics to help create an organized learning environment for my students!

My goal is to reinvigorate my classroom with crayon sharpeners to help lengthen the life of our crayons, an organization bag to store our bulletin board paper, birthday supplies to help celebrate my students birthdays in the classroom, a monitor cleaner to help keep our digital devices clean, headphones for my students who cannot afford them, a stapler to differentiate task packets, and snacks!

These items may seem like nothing, but they are basics that we need to help our classroom run smoothly. I am excited for this project and appreciate all of your help in getting my classroom organized and accessible for all of my students!
