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 love how curious, creative, and hardworking my students are every day.

They come to school eager to learn and try their best, even when faced with challenges.

These resources will help us create an organized, engaging, and supportive classroom.

The headphones will help students focus during lessons, while the label maker, Velcro dots, and storage pouches will keep materials easy to find. The sublimation ink, markers, and sensory bin will give students hands-on, creative ways to learn. Having a sensory-friendly and well-structured classroom environment is essential for my student's success. These tools will help build routines, reduce distractions, and encourage meaningful participation in learning activities.
