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

Here’s a more cohesive and flowing version of your description:

As we wrap up this school year, it’s the perfect opportunity to look ahead and plan for the exciting journey of the new school year!

I aim to kick off the year on the right foot by gathering essential supplies that will empower my students and provide the necessary resources to differentiate their learning throughout the year.

Having access to differentiated teacher created materials to supplement our lessons from TPT will support my learners along with having Seat Storage Pockets at each student's seat will ensure that supplies are organized and easily accessible, promoting independence and a smooth start to each day. In our collaborative learning environment. Sticky Easel Pads will be invaluable for interactive lessons and brainstorming sessions, allowing students to visualize their ideas effectively.

Organization is key, and the File Cart will help manage student work and materials. Additionally, Storage Organizer Bins will provide an efficient way to store tools, with vinyl labels for easy identification and reading practice.

To foster engagement, we’ll incorporate sensory tools like Wobble Chair Feet, which allow students to channel their energy while remaining attentive. The Expandable Ball will serve as a calming tool, helping students manage stress.

Participation and engagement will be enhanced with Recordable Answer Buzzers, making learning interactive.The 5 Minute SandTimer will assist in managing activities and transitions smoothly when students take a break in the calming corner. While Erasable Gel Pens will empower students to practice writing without the fear of making permanent mistakes.

Finally, an organized classroom will be achieved with Hanging File Folders and VELCRO Dots, creating a visually appealing space that fosters structure and routines.

With these resources, we will create a supportive environment that inspires confidence and independence as my students in the new year!
