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

Our classroom is comprised of diverse students that come from different backgrounds. We love to come to school every day to celebrate each others' successes, learn from one another, and most importantly, have fun!

Our new laminator will allow me to take care of our learning stations and laminate them so we can reuse them year after year!

The colorful counters will also be used during math and reading rotations to play fun games that reinforce the standards that are being taught. We learn through games and can't wait to learn through play!
