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 goals for this project are to help bring organization and a peaceful and calm working space for students to learn and grow. Rooms free of clutter are essential to student learning. The students in my class are currently in a transition with their previous teacher resigning and me being their teacher. I want to give the whole classroom a room renovation with the bean bag chairs, eucalyptus decorations, and more -kindergarten style!

My students love learning and my goal is to create a space that feels safe, organized, and comfortable.

I also have included recess equipment for our class to use when they are on the basketball court or on track and field.
