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 materials will help jumpstart my classroom. I plan to use the beanbag chairs to create a library and reading zone because I believe that students need to hold books and learn to love reading to excel in all subjects. I plan to use the "take a break" rug to give students a break when needed to aid with classroom management. Crayons, markers, glue, and paper will be used to learn through art. I also plan to use the map rug to create a learning center for our classroom. This will be the gathering place for us to learn together.
