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

I am transitioning from being our schools interventionist into a 3rd grade teacher! I am so excited for this transition and I want to make sure that my students are going to be receiving the best learning environment that I can provide.

This is my first year teaching in a classroom and I want to make sure my students have a welcoming environment!

I am asking for a Bluetooth speaker so that my students and I can always have calm background noise when needed. I am also asking for magnetic bookshelves so that we can display culturally relevant texts that we can read. I am also asking for dry erase markers and magnetic holders so that we can keep everything in one place!

Thank you for helping me create a welcoming environment for my students!
