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

Please help me set up my new classroom with the basic supplies for students and me to be ready to learn and teach. By creating a well-equipped and engaging learning environment filled with the classroom basics, I aim to enhance student outcomes, foster a love for learning, and support achieving their individualized education plan-specific goals.

Through this project, I aspire to cultivate a space with basic classroom materials for students to access at any time like a pencil sharpener, a stapler, Expo markers, and storage bins to help keep all material organized as well as some classroom décor like a lamp, along with a paper cutter, and storage that will help support small group learning.

My project focuses on providing basic classroom resources and materials that will directly contribute to each student's success and growth. Having an organized and ready-to-learn classroom will help support my OWLsome students!
