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

The items on this list are solely for the benefit of my students and help provide a warm and inviting space to learn. Students spend most of their day at school and in my opinion, our classroom is like their second home!

Essentials!

Students never have enough highlighters and pencils. It is always a must on any supply list.

Technology!

In 4th grade, we use technology every day and headphones are a HUGE must. However, they either break or stop working so you can never have enough spares.

Celebration!

At our school, we have 30 essentials that we all adhere to, making our classroom feel like a family. We will use the disco lights to celebrate successes in the classroom and when we have our Tribal Spirit on Fridays.

Classroom Organization!

Students in my class are organized. I try to instill this life skill so that they can see how being organized can help them function better in the classroom.

Thank you for supporting my classroom and more importantly, my students.
