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

This project includes essential classroom tools that will make a difference in how my students learn each day. Expo markers will be used during whole-group lessons to keep students engaged and actively participating. To support emotional regulation and focus, I'm creating a dedicated calm corner with fidget toys and calming posters, giving students a safe space to reset and return to learning. The items in this cart will help support their academic growth, creativity, focus, and overall well-being. During centers, students will use magnetic tiles to build, problem-solve, and collaborate. Fluorescent light covers will help transform our classroom into a more welcoming, calm space where students can concentrate and feel comfortable.

Lastly, everyday basics like colored pencils and small notebooks will allow students to express their thoughts, feelings, and learning through daily journaling and creative work.

With these resources, my students will have what they need to feel supported, stay focused, and grow both academically and emotionally throughout the year.
