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

We are a first grade ICT in a Title 1 school in a low income neighborhood. Unfortunately, we do not have extra money in our school's budget to help make the classroom feel like a warm, fun, and exciting learning environment.

All kids deserve a warm, inviting learning environment.

We can achieve this by adding dedicated spaces for independent reading with a new area rug, small group instruction at a half-moon table, and neat clean bulletin boards with new bulletin board paper.

Our goal is to create a space children not only feel comfortable in, but look forward to coming to each day.
