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

As a first year teacher I need supplies to keep my classroom organized as well as benefit my students education. My goal for this project is to get my students materials that will promote learning. The students sit at tables so they need a place to put their materials and tools to help them have easy access and stay organized. The stools would be used for a small group learning center that’s focus would be on phonics and word knowledge. Currently there is not enough stools to do this.

Education should be fun and engaging!

Having educational games that can be played in the classroom will promote learning in a unique way. These games focus on early literacy and math. This will help build the essential skills and fluency in developing learners.
