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

Hello everyone, I will be teaching 1st grade this upcoming school year. I would love to set up a welcoming and comfortable reading area for my 1st graders that include a books, and book shelves. The book shelves will help with organizing books and making them accessible to them. The books are great for 1st graders and are books that they love and find fun to read.The games will help students have some fun time at the end of the week and be able to use their imagination to build using the magna tiles and the building chips.
