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 teach first grade and I love it! My students are wonderful and creative. They will be so excited to have a space of their own space. We have tables and not individual desks.

There isn't much space to store our classroom supplies, we would love to use these bookshelves at the end of each table to keep our tables clear for projects.

Having a space where students can practice organizational skills and responsibility would be highly beneficial to my students. I'm so excited to get to create a welcoming learning environment for my kiddos to flourish!
