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 am requesting an individual ear-buds, plastic storage containers and color crayons which will be used to help my students organize their work area.

Organization is the key to success

My students will be able to create and organize notes, images, lab notes, and used them in their science and math journals.

The plastic storage containers will be used to keep their supplies available for group and independent use in the classroom.

In addition, the desk organizer will provide a storage unit for their writing folders, science posters and journals. With the use of the plastic desk organizer, my students can organize activities that take academic concepts from theoretical to practical. It can leverage to create interactive visual aids for use in the classroom, which helps teachers communicate complex concepts to students.
