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

Organizing is what you do before you do something so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up. In my center-based first-grade classroom, I facilitate rather than dictate my students' learning. My learning centers are engaging and driven by students' interests, hence the utilization of art supplies (they are very artistic individuals).

Help me, help my first-grade students get organized.

The storage bins, laminating materials, markers, and other organizational/artistic materials will help students work within their centers independently and smoothly. Having clear, direct, and accessible items for little ones is super important at this age. Eliminating unnecessary blocks in my students' road to success is important to me. Thanks in advance for supporting my First Grade Team.
