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

In my inclusion classroom it is important to have limited clutter in order to promote focus. We have limited closet space so the totes are to maximize storage space in an organized way.

Children need to have organization in their lives and a place to store books they want to read.

The book bags are to replace the zip lock gallon bags I am using now. Many of my large books do not fit in these bags and students have a hard time finding a space for them. They often break the bags trying to stuff them in. The bags are also reusable so it's a one time purchase that can be used over and over with extra bags just in case an accident happens.
