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

Organization is key for the classroom. Keeping myself and the students organized will always help us know where things are. Starting a new grade means upgrading my classroom.

Sharing materials keeps things in one place and organized.

The caddies will be for their daily materials to share. Since we don't have a rug, the cushions will be when I meet with the students in groups or individually so they can be comfortable on the rug.

The mobile desk will allow me to move around the classroom freely to the students working in their groups. I can bring my stuff with me and assist them.
