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

Help organize our classroom for the new school year with new shelving and supplies to make the school year start off right.

The students will be entering the classroom on the first day of school to a well organized room that is stocked with the essentials they will need to feel successful.

The cabinets will be an organized way for the students to store their robotics kits and robots for the entirety of the school year, with a shelf designated for each partner group in the classroom. The students in my classroom are special because they are going to be entering into their final year of elementary school and are going to have such a positive experience with their year starting off fresh.

Marker kits and cardstock are helpful in making their Social Emotional projects each month come to life. With the proper materials to work with, the projects become more meaningful and easier to display in the classroom.
