Help me give my students more support throughout this school year. I would love to update my tech and supplies so I can continue creating a welcoming environment for my students.

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

Every year I love to begin my classroom according to a theme. I continuously create decorations to create a more welcoming environment.

The laminator and laminating sheets will allow me to preserve these decorations so I could use them throughout my teaching career.

The other materials will allow me to integrate many other artistic activities into my lessons.

The clay and pocket charts allow me to include more various activities in the year. For example, making clay pumpkins in the fall. The playdoh will be used as enrichment activities during tests and brain breaks.

Thank you for your support!
