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

These materials will be beneficial to my current and future classes. I try to incorporate more interactive assignments, but I find it difficult with the current lack of materials. Materials such as glue, markers, and pencils will be placed in organizational baskets for each group in the class. Our current sharpener is on its way to retirement.

Other materials such as folders will be used to create writing folders for students in order to organize resources better.

Lastly, the Cricut will help me to decorate the bulletin boards inside and outside the class in order to showcase the amazing work students create. These Cricut designs will help inspire young minds through elevated decorations.
