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

In my classroom and school-wide, we provide small group instruction in English Language Arts. I work with two groups while three other groups work independently.

The independent groups read different selections of literature but sometimes they do not have a comfy place to sit and complete assignments.

The rug and lap desks will allow them to comfortably meet with one another and complete their work. This project will help my students work comfortably and enjoy their time together in a small group! Please help me support my students during our small group time!
