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

Hello, I have included many bulk items that will benefit my students. The rug will be used for our class library. The pillows will be used for group work or reading at the library area. Many of the other supplies are what we will use everyday. The whiteboards will mostly be used for Math instruction. The clip boards will be used for differentiated instruction. These items will be very useful.

My goal is to have these items help facilitate my student's learning.

I want them to be able to enjoy in their classroom as well as enjoy being a part of it. My students are very bright. They are very eager to learn, and they always know to hold each other accountable and reliable.
