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

All of the items will help make our classroom a home away from home for the students. It will be cozy, organized, zen and provide prizes for positive reinforcement. I believe in encouraging active learning and creativity while in an organized classroom reduces stress and promotes work ethic.

Collaboration zones (clipboards/folders/ magnetic folder organizers) promote teamwork and communication, and helps students learn from each other.

The folders will be used to keep all documents organized and accessible for the students.

Each resource contributes to a classroom environment that’s engaging, supportive, and conducive to growth. Together, they create a space where students can thrive and explore their potential. The new bulletin board boarders, LED lights and diffuser are going to be used to give our classroom a facelift, as well as setting a stress free zone. Please help give our classroom a makeover.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
