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

The alternative seating will allow for students to sit comfortably around the room to work and will allow students to sit comfortably as some of them need to sit closer to the smart board when I am giving lessons.

The set of scissors I have now are too small for my 5th graders.

We are using scissors more suited for elementary students. These would make a big difference when we are doing our science activities.

Treasure box prizes are a big deal in my classroom. I use them as incentives to learn as well as to help kids want to clean up!
