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, I am very passionate but low on funds to create a warm and welcoming classroom.

My goal is to gain resources such as fun engaging activities for example, escape rooms or projects.

During student teaching, I found plenty of fun activities and learning games on TpT that supported students' learning. I would appreciate having materials that are for the grade I will be working in.

I also would like to expand my classroom library with more diverse authors and genres. Students should be able to find pieces of literature they can relate to and are interested in reading.
