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

This school year, I am switching both schools and grades, and want to ensure that students in my new classroom can get the necessary support to succeed! I truly believe that a classroom that is run efficiently will help students learn, and many of the supplies here are intended to do just that! The laminator will help me work more effectively and ensure that student materials are protected, so many students can use it! The carpet spots let students know where to sit to ensure safe and quick transitions. The other classroom materials, such as the stamp pad and pens, are to make sure I have everything I need to give feedback on work! In addition, the mesh bags will be so helpful for students to take care of their independent reading books, so students can use them for years to come!
