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 absolutely love how curious, energetic, and full of joy my kindergarteners are! Every day, they come into our classroom ready to explore, learn, and grow together. Having a large classroom rug will give us a cozy and inviting place to gather for stories, lessons, and conversations. It helps set the tone for our day and creates a special space for community and focus. The line-up spots will bring order to our daily routines and help my students develop independence as they learn to find their place and wait their turn. These simple tools will make a big difference in creating a structured, comfortable, and fun learning environment!
