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

Please help me organize my literacy small group materials! I am in need of a file cabinet and folder organizers for my leveled books, flash cards, lesson plans, and other materials used during small group interventions.

These organizational materials will help me prepare effective literacy lessons for my kindergarten newcomer ELL students!

Currently, I am storing leveled books and materials in gallon-sized plastic bags, and storing these bags in a cardboard box. Having a file cabinet and folder storage would allow me to store all materials together and more easily access them as I am planning and implementing lessons.
