Improving our Classroom Culture

Help me give my students a variety of objects to make our year a success.

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

These specific items are all necessary for making our classroom feel complete. I am always on the search for new books that a wide range of readers can access, such as the Magic Treehouse series.

Our classroom would also benefit from some flexible seating options, which are proven to enhance student learning!

It is important for students to be able to work at places other than their desks, which these chairs would give them the opportunity to do so!

The Legos and blocks are fun activities that students can complete on an indoor recess day, or just for free time! I am always looking for ways to get students off of their computers.
