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 am a big believer that a welcoming classroom environment can impact student engagement. After almost 20 years of teaching, many have attested to how the way the classroom was set up helps them feel welcome and therefore are able to focus on what's being taught.
Therefore, my goal is to cover the dull, ivory walls in the classroom with colorful backdrops.
By having a colorful classroom ready for instruction, collaboration, and lots of learning, I know it will be a positive start for the new school year. My goal is to update the classroom with resources that encourage learning so my students can see that their classroom is their home away from home.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
