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

o improve classroom organization and support visual learning, we seek funding for a comprehensive color-coding system using spray paint, color-coded sticker dots, and two color-changing lamps. Our goal is to create an environment where students can quickly identify and access materials, fostering independence and reducing disruptions.

We will use spray paint in the colors of the rainbow—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet—to categorize materials and workstations.

Color-coded sticker dots will be applied to tables and corresponding storage areas, making it easy for students to locate and return items to their designated spots. The two color-changing lamps will not only serve as visual cues for transitions but also make the classroom environment more dynamic, exciting, and inviting for students.

This system will streamline organization, enhance learning for visual learners, and empower students to take responsibility for their environment. By making materials more accessible and creating a vibrant atmosphere with color-changing lamps, we aim to foster a more efficient, engaging, and enjoyable classroom experience.
