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

These items will help keep our classroom organized and clean. The student mailboxes will help keep all their hard work and projects organized every day. With my bigger class size I need more mail boxes to allow every student their own. It keeps my students responsible for their own work because they know exactly where to put it when they are finished. It then helps me to put their work from the week in their folder at the end of the week.

My students love expressing themselves through their artwork!

They love creating and crafting and especially painting. This drying rack will help dry our art work and keep it organized as well. We won't have to worry about it blowing away with the wind.

Lastly this cordless vacuum will help keep our classroom clean. My students love to help out and with this cordless vacuum they can do so. It will also help teach them to clean up after themselves when they make a mess.
