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 will use many of these items to organize my room and build up resources for my students so they are better able to access the curriculum and practice skills during centers. I have sensory items and flexible seating to give my students options. The headphones will create a quieter environment.

My goals are to increase the number of activities I have to offer to the wide variety of learners in my room.

My students are special because they are STUDENTS. Everyone is special, unique, and valued in my room.

Ms. Kenshalo Donner Springs Elementary School Grades PreK-2
