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

With the help of the items in my make way for learning project, it will allow me to create a clutter free space for my students to learn in. With currently no where to store materials properly, it makes it very easy for something to become a trip hazard.

These bins make organization and storage a lot easier and gives my students access to an obstacle course free classroom.

One they can move around freely.

Receiving these storage items means clutter will be one less obstacle for myself and my students to worry about.
