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 Students

I will be teaching my very first class ever! As a third grade ELA teacher, I hope to create a classroom environment that fosters creativity and a sense of community.

I don't know my students yet, but I know that each are very special because they will bring different personalities and experiences to our classroom.

I hope to be able to provide the space where they can use their experiences to relate to what is to be learned! Thank you!

My Project

These materials will help me to create a great start to my first year of teaching. Coming straight out of college I don't have the funds to provide my students with all of the classroom items they deserve.

The materials in this project are some classroom essentials that will aid in creating an efficient and structured classroom environment!

A few of the materials in this project are for organization, some for creative expression, some for comfort and all with my future students in mind. This project will provide my student with some of the tools they will need in ELA. Thank you!
