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

Our project is focused on creating a more engaging, comfortable, and well-equipped learning environment for students. I’ve included a large supply of whiteboard markers because our classroom features whiteboard tables which allow students to work out problems collaboratively and show their thinking in real time.

For desks that aren’t whiteboard surfaces, I’ve added whiteboard decals so that every student can participate equally.

I’ve also included classroom calculators to ensure students have access to the tools they need for math activities and assessments.

To support focus and comfort during learning, I’ve selected a few flexible seating options that will make the classroom more inviting and student-friendly. These supplies will help foster collaboration, creativity, and confidence every day.
