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

Help me make my classroom inviting to the incoming 5th grade students. The materials listed will help me meet the needs of the students. The floor cushions will make sitting in small groups comfortable for the students. The materials for the bulletin boards will make the classroom more inviting for the students. Their work can be beautifully displayed on the bulletin boards.

The chair bands will help those students that need to move during class time.

The calm down toys will be used in the calm down corner by those students who may need a break.
