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

My fourth-grade students are going to be in a classroom that has the goal of promoting growing minds. I am hoping to obtain materials at the start of this school year that are able to achieve teaching organizational skills and nurture our learning.

These materials include anchor charts for Arizona fourth grade standards so that students are able to reflect back to it feeding their prior knowledge.

Folders to promote organization. Scissors in order to create interactive notes. Lastly, some Expo markers for our daily check-ins and review of content.

With your help, I am able to provide a foundation for learning. My goal as their fourth-grade teacher is to set an environment that is rich in learning and teaching organizational skills that they can use in their futures.
