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

Each year, I am trying to better my practice for the following year, and that includes improving my classroom space so students can access materials easily, while also maintaining a clutter-free, functional space for all.

Students need organization and order.

These items will help me organize students' book bins so that students are able to easily access books that are at their reading level. The materials will also help me to organize their workbooks and materials in a way that promotes organization, on top of being accessible. The organization of the classroom space will help keep students organized and help to continue to give them an environment that is conducive to learning. The organization is simple for accessibility, but also so that students can take responsibility and maintain the shared classroom space.
