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

Next year, I am moving to a smaller classroom and I want my students to feel comfortable in our classroom so I added two floor lamps that will help keep our classroom cozy and well lit. Sometimes I need to have the lights completely off so that my students are able to see the projector and they are still not able to see what they write because of this so having some cool lighting will help the students see better and write more

When a classroom is a safe space for students, they are more comfortable and are able to learn more.
