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

These are a combination of items to help support students in my classroom. With large classrooms come large voice levels. Students that need a quiet classroom in order to complete their work and think clearly will benefit from noise cancelling headphones.

Students love flexible seating and the seats motivate them to find a quiet place in the room to read and do their work.

The ability to have choice and to find the most comfortable seat to be productive is very important to them. I want them to have a variety of options to help support their learning.

Another crucial part of my class are technology and art. The power-surge protectors are very helpful to keep our tech charged and ready to the day. The remaining items are items have to fun in the classroom and create amazing things to take home.
