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

The first step to having an effective classroom is having good organization of supplies. I work with lots of different students with different needs, and also share a classroom with another teacher, so keeping all our lesson materials neat and organized is very important for me to have an effective and efficient classroom.

I am request supplies such as storage carts and desktop organizers to help streamline the organization of lesson supplies.

These supplies will help me transition between groups faster, and spend more time on teaching and learning with my students.
