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 are full of energy and enthusiastic about learning. They need a positive way of releasing some of that energy at times. These items will definitely help my students focus and engage in positive activities that will bring peace and calm to them.

My students feel overwhelmed with testing so the sketchbooks, coloring pencils, and Model Magic clay will help release some tension and stress.

The binding machine will help them express their creativity as they create their own books to share with others. The Esperanza Rising book will help them follow along as I we read for fun and make connections to our learning. The posters will remind them to have a growth mindset and be calm.

These items will enhance our classroom by adding to our positive learning environment.
