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

First graders are full of enthusiasm and exuberance for all their daily discoveries. They learn from all of the spaces around them. Our classroom has chairs and tables for students to work at, as well as, very well worn carpeting. Attention and focus are precious and having comfortable inviting spaces will allow us to focus on our learning. Each one of these supplies will eliminate distractions and increase time for learning.

By partnering to create several comfortable working spaces in our classroom you are making the hard work of learning to read more focused and flexible to each student's needs.

We will be able to have a carpet space to learn the calendar, listen to stories and do math together. They will also be able to sit in the reading nook on comfy cushions while they practice reading. Lap desks will give students the flexibility to work anywhere in the classroom. We will use them in small groups, when doing science experiments or just when they need another spot to do their best learning.

To maximize each learning space we need to have materials organized and easy to access. Small bins with lids and pockets help keep all our materials just where we need them, eliminating the distraction of getting up to locate necessary supplies.
