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

Included in my project, there are a variety of materials for the classroom! From building blocks to string lights, these will inspire students to use their creativity. The string lights create a cozy, calming, and welcoming atmosphere for my kiddos as the bright florescent classroom lights can be overstimulating! The magnetic hooks will be used to hang and display artwork in the classroom creating a sense of community and leaves the students feeling proud of their work. The computer mouse is for the easy accessibility for the students when they come up to my computer when we do interactive activities up on the white board! All of these materials will make the classroom feel like home as well as they will create flexibility and accessibility for diverse learners!
