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

Help me get my classroom centers materials organized for my students to easily transition into their next activities. The material provided will help my students organize our classroom materials to have easier transitions during rotations. My students are learning to be independent helpers and have classrooms jobs assigned weekly to teach them responsibility and accountability. The materials requested will help me to organize our centers reading books, organize worksheets such as homework classwork, store curriculum and accommodate materials for smooth transitions all around the classroom with the help of the storage organizer. It will provide accessibility to my students and I to acquire the classroom materials needed.The storage bins will be of a a great asset to store our classroom manipulatives, pencils, papers, worksheet and books. As a result, all the material requested will help with organization all around my classroom.
