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

With the majority of the cleaning responsibility being on my students, my kindergartners have built a classroom culture that values organization and cleanliness. We have designed a system of classroom jobs designated solely to the cleaning and organization of the room for the end of each school day.

My young students are eager to help keep our classroom clean but unfortunately with insufficient cleaning products and supplies they have not been able to do so as they please.

My goal is to make our classroom a germ free learning zone so we can help prevent students from missing out on their learning due to becoming sick.
