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 have 20 of the most energetic and caring first graders that love coming to school.

My students are thrilled when I put up their work on the walls.

I have a new room vision that my students have helped me create. We would be so thankful to have a classroom makeover and some new furniture to store our centers and manipulative. We are asking for some bookshelves to store books and manipulatives. My students have also picked out some new bulletin board paper to display their work on. Not only my current students, but my students next year would enjoy this classroom makeover as well.

My students and I thank you in advance for making this vision come to life in our classroom. Thank you!!
