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

An organized classroom, allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a well organized and well equipped classroom.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The inflator in my class will open creativity, the bins will help them become organized, the cold packs will keep them well. These items, will be extremely beneficial for some students that are in need.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
