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

My students have voiced to me how much they love when they can tell that a teacher has really put together and thought out their classroom. I'm someone who loves to decorate and make sure that my students and myself have a classroom that is inviting, but also sensitive to those with sensory needs or struggling with over stimulation.

I have the decor for my classroom which I paid for, I'm asking for help with the quality backing paper for my bulletin boards so that they last all year and don't rip or tear, and make students feel pride in their room.

I'm also asking for help to get one more set of fluorescent light covers. People on the autism spectrum (like myself) as well as with other disabilities can often struggle with fluorescent lighting, and I would like to remove as many of those distractions as possible.

Finally, I'm asking for a laminator so that I can laminate the decor items that I have so they can be used for years to come. My students deserve a classroom that they are proud of, but that also speaks to the needs of all students, especially those with neurodivergencies.
