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 be a great addition to the classroom library where students will be able to read daily. The items will also help me create a beautiful and inviting environment for students to learn. A classroom library is essential to student learning and growth and as a new teacher that is top priority.

The goal is for students to enjoy coming to school and their class library!

It is important to create a welcoming environment in the classroom so that students will enjoy learning.

What makes my students special is that they are all amazing in their own unique ways.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
