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

Recently, we had some issues with mold in the classroom, which affected some of our most prized possessions. As a caring teacher, I take pride in creating a fun and comfortable environment for my students, who for a lot of them may be the only place they can call home.

My classroom is currently known as the "Cafe" because it is coffee-shop themed and it's a place my current and past students love to come and visit.

Due to the mold, I had to get rid of many of the posters, furniture, treasure box with goodies, headphones, etc.

It would mean so much to us if you could help us restore our "Classroom Cafe"!

Thank you,

Mrs. Sherrod's 4th Grade Class
