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

As this school year comes to a close, I've reflected on how things in my classroom could have been better. For next year I absolutely want to add better organization to my classroom. I plan to do that by getting a new cart on wheels that will help to keep a calming corner organized, bins to hold kinetic sand that will be used during indoor recess or free Friday mornings, and a bin to hold our seat cushions and carpet pillows.

Students want to be welcomed into a clean and organized environment, which in turn will minimize distractions and optimize their learning.

I can't wait to give my students a fresh new class that is clean and organized.
