Celebrating 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 have spent the past eighteen years teaching first grade. It has been an amazing ride but there's a new opportunity just around the corner! I'm moving on up to the second floor, as a second grade teacher! The best part, is I get to spend another year with my littles, soon to be second graders, next year! Yes! We will loop together as we navigate the unknown of second grade!
I'd like to reinvent our new space, as I welcome my littles to second grade, where the sky is the limit and a classroom feels like home.
My current classroom decor that has adorned my current classroom for six years now old, tired, and ready to be retired. So, can you help me to make a brand new space for my almost second graders to enjoy every day of the 2025-2026 school year!
