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

Teachers’ easels are a simple but ingenious multipurpose tool! For teachers, having all the tools within a hand’s reach, and giving them the possibility to position themselves anywhere, a well-organized and well-positioned classroom easel can be a great aid in classroom management, providing the teacher with a unique way of staying on top of the development of their students’ cognitive and motor skills, as well as their communication skills.

The ability to move the easel around the library will give me more control over everything that’s happening.

It will allow me to better communicate with my students and be more attentive to their reactions, their involvement, their focus, their attentiveness, and truly notice how much each student really understood the subject.

Furthermore, as a teacher, with an all-purpose easel I will have a better way of teaching my students to stay present and on task, wait for their turn, listen to others and respect their opinion, work out conflicts, work in groups, understand the value of helping others etc., while also having fun and learning.
