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

I am thrilled for my first year teaching 4th grade at HES, a Title 1 Tier 1 School in Las Vegas. I hope to create a classroom environment that helps students see education and learning as an adventure and an opportunity to explore and grow.

My future students are special because of their incredible potential and the unique experiences they bring.

They come from diverse backgrounds and face various challenges, yet I am confident they will show up each day, ready to learn and grow. I want to create a welcoming, organized, and inspirational classroom environment where every student feels valued and motivated to learn.

The specific items I’m requesting will not only enhance the physical space of our classroom but also significantly impact their learning experiences. The vibrant decorations, such as the colorful paper flower garlands and animal print bulletin board borders, will create an inviting and dynamic atmosphere that sparks creativity and excitement. The motivational wall decor will inspire them to strive for their best, while the organization tools like the clipboard holder and desk dividers will help maintain a structured and efficient learning environment.

The moving podium will allow me to teach and read while moving around the classroom, providing a flexible and dynamic space for whole-group instruction. This will help me engage all students, making lessons more interactive and fostering a collaborative learning culture. The classroom job bulletin board set will teach responsibility and teamwork, giving each student a sense of ownership and pride in their classroom community.

By transforming our classroom, I aim to foster a sense of adventure in education, encouraging my students to explore, ask questions, and discover the joy of learning. With your support, I can provide them with the resources they need to thrive and succeed in their educational journey.
