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 unique individuals who come to school eager to learn each and everyday. Each one of them learns best through the use of a variety of teaching techniques and approaches to help meet their individual needs. They enjoy being challenged despite the challenges they face in their day-to-day lives.

Organizational bins are essential in helping teach my students organizational skills, it also makes it easier for them to find exactly what they need when they need it.

Having the ability to organize and declutter helps reduce loss of instructional time. It also helps my students become independent because they know exactly where to find the tools they need. A new weighted puppy is also essential for our classroom since we all currently only have one to share.
