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

This school has been GREAT! My students have been working hard each and every day to prepare for the third grade next year.

I want to be able to reward my students for all their hard work and make our learning more FUN and EXCITING!

The bean bag toss will be used by students to practice building numbers and to help strengthen their math fluency skills. We have file organizers that will help organize materials and work for the week. Label sheets for our classroom journals, math games for our early finishers and to make math more hands on and engaging, and bulletin board paper to help create an area to display the amazing work students create.

These materials will help bring our classroom together and bring organization and excitement into our classroom.
