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 I am requesting are to help my classroom be more organized. Students will have flexible seating areas with the lamp and chair bands. Students will have a classroom that is organized with the shelving, and have working technology supplies with the headphones.

My goal with this project is to help fill my classroom with everything I need to make sure my students and I have all the tools we will need for a successful school year.

This school year is special to me because this is my first school year teaching and my first ever classroom.

Mrs. Gina
Grades 3-5
