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

As a second year teacher I feel I now have a great grasp on different materials to benefit my classroom that not only create independence but are also engaging. We are in need of an organization cart that I can use to organize my materials for the week as well as my students centers. This will be an item that everyone in the class is able to use!

As a title school we are given very basic classroom furniture, I would love to make my classroom library more inviting with a new book case!

A TPT giftcard would allow me to find new and engaging grade level specific materials that correlate with our curriculum for all subjects.

I want to focus on small group math and ELA, with a classroom easel I can create different sentence stems, math problems, handwriting techniques, a variety of differentiated tasks to engage my students. There are also different pointers that my students can use for reading and tracking words, as well as different math manipulatives.
