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 teach writing to roughly 140 AMAZING and RESILIENT students. We journal often in addition to our regular coursework and they love to sit around the classroom when it is time to get down to work.

I would love to give them more flexible seating options as they write independently and get into their creative grooves.

Part of that process is being comfortable while they work.

I am also a teacher that LOVES bulletin boards that match our units and can use some more help with keeping my subject area materials separate.
