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 Students

My students are young scholars who are ready to achieve success! The scholars that I have been blessed with teaching have so much energy and genuinely enjoy being part of the learning process.

They have been faced with many challenges in their lives, but I have never met a more persistent and resilient group.

They continuously blow me away with their dedication to their education and their willingness to take educational risks in the classroom!

The scholars that I teach are so diverse in their lives and in their learning, they deserve to have the best because they give me their best. Not every day is perfect, but every day there is progress.

My Project

The multiple supplies that I have chosen for our class will help develop the organization of the classroom for my students! They will be able to use the mini white boards to quickly answer questions and stay engaged in learning. The papers and boarders will be used as project pieces and classroom organization so that the classroom can flow with ease. We will be using the class bins to organize supplies. We use interactive notebooks everyday in my class, so these bins will be extremely helpful to keep our glue sticks and other supplies in a neat fashion!

Every supply will be put to great use for my students and our classroom!

We love having a clean and organized working environment and with your help, we can have a wonderful space to continue our learning process!
