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

I have the most amazing students in the Bronx, New York. On most days, we have 100 percent attendance. They come to school every day excited and ready to learn. I have a wonderful relationship with their parents, but we could use some help with the basics.

This project is for my kids to start the year off right.

I have included a cart, fidget items, some calming supplies, bulletin boards, and organizational tools. They thrive when they have a routine and calming motivational rewards. The desk pets were amazing with my students last year, and I want to continue that hype.
