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

As we head into our 4th week of school, my kindergarten learners are READY TO LEARN! Now that we've established our class rules and procedures, it's time to dive into our academics!

In order to create the most comfortable and exciting learning environment for my 23 little learners, I want to be able to provide as much flexible seating as I can.

With these individual desk lap trays, this will not only allow ample space for each student, but also the freedom to choose HOW they would like to learn.

My philosophy as their kindergarten teacher is not only to teach the foundations needed to succeed, but also allow the students the opportunity to become independent in their educational journey. With your help, you can allow this growth for all of my students! Thank you!
