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

As I move from first grade down to Kindergarten, getting essential items for my students to thrive in their first classroom is imperative.

This project will give my students flexible seating options, organizational tools, and an egg incubator to hatch chicks for science class!

I will be using the flexible seating to give them opportunities to learn throughout the classroom. The organizational tools will help my students keep their materials organized so they can be successful in class. The egg incubator will be an amazing STEM tool for many years to come. I can't wait to teach chicken life cycles and watch my students bring new life into this world!

Thank you for your consideration of my project!
