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

This project will help me stay organized as an educator. Organization helps students feel comfortable, safe, and ready to learn. If I have resources to keep myself organized, I will be able to put forth more energy towards curriculum and instruction planning. I also will be able to teach students organizational methods to help them as they are learning to organize themselves.

My students are very deserving of all the things they need.

I cannot control what happens at home but I like to think I can mostly control what happens in my classroom. I would love for this classroom to be clean, and neat so that learning is easy. This also will eliminate distractions while they are working.
