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 work very hard to keep my classroom organized and always strive to teach my students organization skills, as well. One key way to help with organization in my classroom is through mailboxes. Each student will have a slot in the large mailbox which they will check every day.

I will use the mailboxes to hand out papers such as homework, trip slips, and other notices.

This is especially helpful when students have been absent, they will know to check their mailbox for any work that they might have missed.

Please consider donating so that my students have a place to check every day for papers. My 4th graders will use the mailbox on a daily basis and will appreciate it!
