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

Keeping our daily readers organized is a hard task for my students. Having the wire magazine holders will allow a spot for all readers to have a home to be stored. Once we are finished with one reader, we can storage those in the plastic containers for later use. The click will allow the student to tell how long they have on a certain task during reading class.

Staying organized during reading will help us begin our daily reading quicker.

Not having to dig through desk would be amazing! Thank you for taking a look at our project.
