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

My students are bright, eager sixth graders who thrive when given the right tools to succeed. They are hardworking, curious, and always striving to do their best. Like many students, they can become easily distracted in a busy classroom environment (38 students). With just a few simple supports, I know they can soar even higher.

Privacy folders and headphones help my students stay focused and engaged during independent work time.

These tools create a calmer, more distraction-free space where students can concentrate on their own thinking, take ownership of their work, and reach their full potential!
