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

So much goes into creating a welcoming learning environment and I have chosen items that I think will create the perfect setting in my new classroom. I'm going down to first grade and I am so excited to be making this change. There are lots of items I will need for next year, that I do not currently I have in my 7th grade classroom.

I want to create a fun and inviting classroom to help my students not only learn but enjoy the experience.

From a bookshelf to pencil grips, there are lots of things my new classroom is going to need to ensure the success of my new students. I appreciate any and all help and I am so excited for this new adventure!
