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

During small group time, our classroom is buzzing with the sounds of students engaged in their respective center activities. Small group time allows me to work with students who need the most reading support. However, the hustle and bustle of students at other centers often impacts my students' focus and concentration.

These room dividers will provide a safe visual barrier to encourage concentration during small group time.

Having lightweight barriers that do not obstruct my line of sight will be greatly beneficial. These barriers can easily be moved to the side once small groups are over to allow us to maximize the use of our learning space. Thank you for investing in my students learning!
