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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

This corner will be a center for students to rotate in and have turns to read books. Also, can be utilized as a center for the early finishers to look forward to being rewarded.

In this calm corner, with bins, bean bag seats, and books, students can color, read, and hug a stuffy friend to feel cozy and comfortable.

I think this addition to my classroom will help students not only achieve knowledge but also have a sense of belonging.

A lot of my students have emotional needs, That's why I make sure I hug them as they arrive at my classroom. Giving them a place to relax, be themselves, and learn is a must for them.
