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

Organization is key for any teacher, it helps with structure, transitions and effectiveness. I want to teach my students proper organization while teaching, by having materials used and returned to their proper location will allow them to see how efficient and time-saving organization can be. With this organization, students can learn organization by example and our lessons will have very little time lost in transition due to the skills acquired.

These organization tools will help everyone by keeping everything in its place.

his enhanced organization will not only create a tidier and more visually appealing classroom but also save valuable instructional time that would otherwise be spent searching for materials to learn and us
