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 am a first year of teacher trying to find my bearings within the classroom. Though my class room is bright, and full of disco balls, it has come to my attention that in order for my students to be successful and thrive there are some things that they and myself will need. I added supplies that will help my students both educationally and socially. These items are meant to help them feel at home in the classroom but also have a better learning experience.

As we all know, we all learn differently.

Because of this, the things that are added on this wish list allow me to give all of my students a learning experience in which they will thrive! From manipulatives to crazy LED lights for dance parties, all of these things make for a healthy, fun, inviting classroom. Please help me and my students achieve a groovy room for all!
