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 am a special education teacher, which means that I can teach a variety of subjects in any given year. A lot of my classroom décor reflects this diversity of teaching, but it means that sometimes my classroom doesn't always reflect the subject that I am teaching. I would love for my students to walk into my classroom and know that they are in a History class and not just a Special Education classroom.

I am requesting American history posters, a decorative "world monuments" tapestry to cover part of a wall, and a college banner to add to my existing décor.

This will help bring my subject this year to life for my students, so they know they are in a history class during our time together.

I am also requesting some basic classroom supplies, such as printer paper and blank address labels, to help get us through the next marking period of the school year.
