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 love how hard my students work and how excited they are to learn new things each day. They bring so much joy, curiosity, and determination into our classroom. The desks will give each student a personal space to learn comfortably, while the task boxes will help them work on their IEP goals and stay engaged when they finish early. Classroom organizers will help us keep materials accessible and our space clutter-free, allowing students to focus and build independence. These resources will help my students grow in confidence as they reach their goals and discover their potential.
