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

The classroom environment promotes a positive and inviting atmosphere but sometimes the budget does not allow me the resources to provide additional learning activities or the means to provide a fun and decorative classroom. It would be wonderful to add a die-cut machine with upper-case letters, lower-case letters, and number die-cut sets to our classroom. This will allow us to have personalized interactive reading and math bulletin boards!

These die-cut shapes would be a wonderful resource to help our students learn to recognize letters, numbers, and shapes.

Additionally, it's a wonderful tool for helping to build words for those students who need to be challenged academically. Having these resources would allow us to create our own materials. Me and my students appreciate all the help and support to our class.
