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 Students

My students are all an ELL population with varying degrees of need and classroom support in literacy and math. They have come from many different places and speak many different languages.

We are back to teaching face to face and we are seeing our students working hard!

My Project

For my classroom in my Inner-city Title I urban school, I have chosen some classroom decor that will provide a positive inspirational message for them when they look around the room.

My classroom is worn and the walls are tired, but not the attitude of my students!

I have chosen bright colorful posters and borders to place around the room to liven up even the dullest of corners! I also have some clips so I can hang things from the ceiling so their tables are clearly marked, and I can hang some of their creative work!
