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

My goal for my classroom is to ensure my students feel comfortable and excited to learn. Wobble stools, floor cushions, and pillows are going to offer my students a choice in how they want to learn. To fulfill my classroom my students need a few toys/games for indoor recess. I also hope that my students learn to fall in love with reading.

Creating a calm corner for every student to read will ensure that they feel eager and motivated to be a part of the reading corner.

My goal for this project is to ensure that my classroom is prepared to support my students in every aspect. Motivating them from day one of school is important and will allow me to hold my students to high expectations that I know they can meet if placed in the proper supportive environment.
