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 students love coming to class to discuss the novels we are reading. Often, high school students come to school but are not yet organized for the school day with their supplies, such as having a pencil or with their computers charged. Having an area in the classroom where they can go to help them prepare for the day, pick up supplies that they may need, or even charge their computer will help them get started.

High school students have a lot happening in their lives and sometimes they need a little help with the smaller things to give them the boost that they need to be successful.

These materials will help create an area in the classroom where the students will be able to go to get the things that they need in order in order work to their full potential.
