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

Our students love a calm, cozy atmosphere in our grade 2 classroom.

We try our very best to provide that for them daily.

Our room is filled with music, lighting, cozy spots to read. It's also filled with laughter, hard work, and busy little bodies moving around all day long.

We will use these incredible items, crayons, desk pets, books and fidget toys to add to our beautiful home away from home to make it even better than it is.

For many of our students, our classroom is a safe space, a place where they can relax and feel at ease, happy to work, share their feelings, and build what we hope will become lasting relationships with classmates and teachers.
