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

In a few weeks, I'll be starting my first year as a second-grade teacher. While I’m fortunate to have some materials from my previous mentor, I still need a few essential items to build a supportive, clean, and interactive learning environment. Being my first year, I would greatly appreciate any assistance, which is why I created this project. The project includes a range of items, from headphones and cleaning supplies to a vibrant rug, all aimed at making the classroom more colorful and engaging. My goal is to create a space where students feel inspired to learn and grow, surrounded by tools that support their educational journey.
