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

This school year I will be teaching third grade for the seventh year! I am looking forward to having a new group and with a new group comes new needs! I would like to provide my students with stronger tools in our calm down corner. So the breathing mazes, sensory tubes and calm down pup will be tools offered as choices to give student breaks when necessary. My goal is to teach them to self regulate independently.

Additionally, the pencil sharpener, pencils, easel pads and laptop cart are tools needed to keep our classroom well-ran throughout the school year.

The laptop needs a sturdy place to sit during lessons and this will do the trick! The pencils, sharpener and easel pads will keep us on track with our work daily.
