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 enthusiastic learners. They are goal oriented and are working so hard to become the best version of themselves. Since returning to school from distance learning, they are excited to be in a classroom that is peaceful and home like.

Our classroom is an extension of our home.

We try to make our environment cozy and orderly. Everyone's favorite place in the classroom is our library. We are working to grow it by adding more books, so new bins that all match will help us attain that. The basket will serve as a place for their cushions to utilize while reading and the pocket chart a division that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves a purpose. By having materials to spruce up our library, I hope to grow it so more students have access to it.
