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

I am a first year teacher this upcoming school year and will be in charge of 49 amazing 2nd grade students! With having a lot of students, organizational materials are a must for making sure the school day flows and is stress free knowing my students have their own materials in separate bins for their table teams.

My goals for this project is to give my students comfort in knowing I have everything they may need and knowing they can get whatever is necessary without having to ask.

My students will know where everything is with the help of the organizational tools that I am thankful to be asking for.

My students are special because we are part of a Dual Language School that provides an amazing learning opportunity for students to take active participation with their education in both Spanish and English. These students work so hard and they deserve to have a space in their classroom where they can feel comfortable and not be confronted with a disorganized space.

On behalf of my students and I, thank you!
