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

This project is to help myself, as well as my students. We have been working hard all year to reach our goals for our grade level and I would like to reward them with a new rug and a new listening center.

Our students come from a low income community so new items are a very rare occurrence for them.

They have the grit and have been showing me what their little brains can accomplish.

I'm excited to bring these items to the classroom to help them better themselves and keep our room a fun and safe environment.
