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'm moving classrooms for the 2025-26 school year! After being in the same classroom space for 7 years, I am moving to a bigger classroom. The space needs a lot of work to make it into the warm, inviting classroom that I want for my students.

Students need a classroom space that makes them feel comfortable and safe.

I try to make sure that my students have a variety of seating options and cozy spaces for learning and working. The various area rugs will give them spaces to spread out and work comfortably on the floor if they choose.
