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

My students have been complaining that our classroom looks very dull and boring. This year I hope to convert our classroom into a "magical" place. Harry Potter has been and continues to be one of my all time favorite movies. By popular demand, the students decided on a Harry Potter theme for this upcoming year. These supplies will help me and my student convert our "boring" classroom into a magical place where they will be learning math. The posters will motivate students to become their own type of wizard. In all, this will help students be more exited to come to class and in the long run get them excited about learning. With these materials, students will be able to come to class and relax during their break.
