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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

As the school year is coming to an end, I am looking around and checking for what worked, needs adjustments, and how a variety of items were used more frequently than others. The voice amplifier will help my students to hear the pronunciation of words clearly, especially those who may be hard of hearing. The table caddies will keep their supplies organized. The clear sleeves are easy to clean and use for writing practice.

My students were a very artistic bunch and their artistic side can only be enhanced by the items they have available to them.

One of those items, the skin tone crayons, can come in handy as we draw our classroom family at the beginning of the year. This encourages community and embracing the differences that make us unique. The circle time center helps start our day with the calendar, daily questions, and learning new things about one another.
