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

We have had a few rainy days this school year and students have also earned Free Choice at times. After so much use already, some of the boxes are coming apart, or I haven't been able to take out items because they need to be separated and organized into containers that I don't yet have.

With these new materials, the rainy day and free choice activities will be more organized and will be made portable for easy, independent use.

Students will also build independence with the trifold writing folders and the desktop privacy dividers for limiting distractions.

The plastic cases will be for making Lego sets portable. Students can have their own stash and play and clean up by themself or in a smaller group. Students love the Legos but also will enjoy the Plus-Plus building pieces. I can put out more puzzles because I will now have cases for them since the boxes are running ragged. There are also some more prizes for my prize box which needs to be updated.
