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

One our biggest challenges in our classroom this year is making sure everyone has a pencil. We are in great need of an organized system to store the pencils and help students keep track of where they leave their pencil. The items being requested will help by giving students a storage space at their desk and a spot in the classroom to dispense them one at a time. The current tables do not provide personal storage but this one will give them a place to not only put their pencils but water bottle, and post-its as well. In addition to the pencils, the privacy screens will be used during assessments to give students the quiet space and security that they are in a safe and focused environment. These tools are much needed in our classroom and we thank you in advance for your support!
