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 am trying to update my classroom so that it is more relaxing and inviting. It is hard to be in one room all day. I know I struggle with it at times, and I see my students struggle as well. Help me to create a more relaxed and homelike feel in my classroom so that my students can focus on learning what they need to in order to thrive.

Decreasing the harsh lights in my room will help students stay on task.

Running water is also calming to hear. These items will help my kiddos relax while they learn!
