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

To make it easier on the students, I'd like for them to have an assigned space in the classroom where they can leave their school materials and just get the books, notebooks, or materials they need whenever they need it, mess-free. This will also avoid them having to carry a heavy backpack with them everyday from and to school.

We also need a podium since I am currently teaching from my desk most of the time because it is the only space where I can put my Teacher Edition text for the different subjects.

A podium would allow me to teach from anywhere in the classroom. I'd be able to move it in front of the smart board or in front of the white board as needed depending on what subject/skill I teach that day.
