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

The items will help my students have a comfortable and organized area for readers workshop. They can sit on the rug instead of sitting at their tables. By being able to find their space around the classroom, they’ll be able to focus on their learning. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

In addition, the pencils, whiteboards and dry erase markers are items we need to use daily during reading and math centers.

I want my students to have a welcoming and organized classroom where they can access the items they need with ease.
