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

I teach in a school that is in a rural area. My students come from a variety of backgrounds. I try to make my classroom a welcoming, calming space that will encourage my students to collaborate and learn in cooperative groups.

Flexible seating cushions and rolling carts will help my students stay organized, focused, and on task during the school day.

Due to our lack of storage, our supplies are stored all around the classroom. This leads to a lot of wasted minutes during transitions and lessons to retrieve books and materials. Rolling carts will allow for storage of curriculum and supplies next to student desks within their reach. This will help to keep supplies orderly, neat, and available while encouraging personal responsibility and developing self-care skills. Floor cushions will allow for flexible seating and give students space to work in groups or independently around the room. A new pencil sharpener will allow for faster transitions and more independence.
