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 excited for the upcoming school year, and can't wait to meet my new and incoming 8th graders. 8th grade is my absolute favorite grade level to work with, and there is NEVER a dull moment when working with these kiddos! They make me laugh each and every day.

I strive to create a safe and comfortable classroom environment where every student feels welcome and excited to learn.

This project includes items that will make our classroom more organized and conducive to learning so that every student can put forth their best effort in our classroom. In our classroom we utilize notebook paper, index cards, sticky notes and so much more on a daily basis for warm ups, games, exit tickets, etc. Having all of these materials on hand makes the day run so much smoother for the students and myself!
