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 Students

This year, "Leave your mark on the world," is the class motto in my "The Day You Begin" themed classroom.

I firmly believe these kids will leave their mark on the world.

My second-grade students are future world changers with an amazing set of skills. Within this group, you'll find the questioner with the power to inquire about anything and everything; the informer, who uses life experiences and book knowledge to keep us in the know; the reinforcer, who reminds us of content knowledge and connects it to the real world; the dreamer, who tells us about the endless possibilities; the captain, who keeps the class motivated and at times, in line; and a host of others, making them the most powerful team around.

My Project

When I went to school you had a desk and a chair and that is where you stayed all day. Although I was a successful student, I can't help but wonder how much more comfortable I would have been if I had options.

One thing I've learned after eight years of teaching, is that the classroom environment you create will have a major impact on student learning.

Classroom decor is only one part of the equation. Furniture is another. My students are a diverse group of learners therefore flexible seating is a must. I am asking that you help me equip my students with various types of seating so that they may each have a cozy place to read, learn and succeed.
