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 truly enjoy choice in my classroom. Students that are comfortable in their classroom environment tend to want to excel because they feel that the classroom depends on them to be their best self. When you give students a say so in how they learn, they are eager to bring their "A" game. My students already come from low economic backgrounds, Anything that I can do to assure that learning can be a fun safe place I will always be all in!

Students deserve to be able to express themselves in the way they are comfortable

learning. I want to provide beanbag chairs to help them achieve their best potential by not confining them to desks and chairs.
