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

I want to give my students a room where everything is in its place. It makes the classroom a fun place to be when everything is stored in an organized manner. The students need a secure place to store their work and be able to keep it safe while it is progress. Paper storage is one of the most difficult aspects of my material management.

Keeping students work safe and organized is a priority and having these shelves and folders will make a difference.

Having a sturdy paper shelf will allow my students to have secure storage and allow me to keep paper organized to save time sorting and retrieving paper.
