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 am a brand new teacher and eager to give my future students everything they are seeking from school! I want to create a; fun, safe and accessible space for all kids that come to my class!

The social emotional tools are to help the kids contain those carpet time wiggles or aide in regulating their big emotions.

As I am a first year teacher figuring out my best approaches to classroom management, these tools will help me figure that all out! The cleaning supplies and materials are to keep our space clean and accessible, so we can make it to school everyday by avoiding sickness as best we can. Then the organizing materials are to help me give everything a spot, to keep the room optimal to maximize learning!
