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 4th grade teacher with the most fantastic students. They are so excited about learning and love to be engaged. Their excitement can get the best of them and cause them to jump out of their seats, move around unsafely, etc.

Instead of suppressing their energy, I want to redirect it and make it a part of our learning.

Our current mailbox system in our room does not have enough slots for my students and it falling apart. My students have daily work on their computers that require volume, and we don't have enough headphones for all my kids, the ones we do have are old and broken. Being able to provide a safe and clean learning environment for my kiddos is my biggest goal.
