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

Project Description:

The flexible seating, headphones, rewards, prizes, and intervention supplies like CVC word cards and math manipulatives in my cart will help create a classroom environment that fosters focus, engagement, and hands-on learning.

These items will allow my students to work in a variety of seating arrangements that cater to their learning styles, while the rewards and prizes will motivate them to stay motivated and recognize their hard work. The CVC word and math manipulatives will support students in building foundational skills in a fun, interactive way.

Goals for this project:

My goal is to provide my third graders with the tools and environment they need to succeed academically and feel valued.

By creating a classroom that's flexible and engaging, I aim to build their confidence, foster collaboration, and give them the resources they need to excel.
